It actually sounds quite fun, especially for garter-stitch. Now to find something in my stash that would work…. I may have to go to the LYS and buy some yarn (such a shame!)

I get it, and now I understand why I couldn’t figure out a scarf pattern I bought on vacation near Rhinebeck!

Now to figure out what I have in stash that would work! Great mindless knitting for those times you find yourself stranded!

I’m going to count on the fact that I’ll understand as well. I love the subletly of the two colors. Perfect for a simple project with a bit of panache! Thanks!

The solid garter at the end is a great idea, can’t wait to see what color you choose!

A solid color section at the end could be a nice touch. A friend of mine knit a scarf from one skein of worsted-weight Malabrigo, but when the skein ran out, she wanted it to be longer. Her LYS was out of that color in worsted, so she got bulky instead. This made the last section of her scarf is thicker and wider, of course, but the change adds interest and takes it from a merely nice scarf to an exceptional one.
