I didn’t have very much of my own handspun, so I started it like you start all the new colours, only I purled the row, to get the bumps on the right side of the fabric. The other colour rows are garter stitch, but I didn’t have enough for that.
I think it turned out well. The colours worked together like I thought they would, and after a good soak in some Eucalan, the scarf is drapey and soft.
There were a fair number of ends to weave in:
But I survived.
I used my camera’s timer and a tripod to get the pictures of me. My tripod is fun:
It’s a Joby Gorillapod Original, and it amuses me to no end.
