I think that would work. If you can't knit two together on the other scarf, try a larger size for the needles. My daughter is using a knitting frame(plastic from Joanne's) and having wonderful luck, so that's another way to knit. The frame keeps the guage even.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831911392950703592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26687666.post-55401451099148428182011-03-19T00:25:01.670-07:002011-03-19T00:25:01.670-07:00I agree with pretty much everything the first comm...I agree with pretty much everything the first comment says. I'm not a great knitter, but I've completed quite a few scarves. I always have to rip out and start over several times -- it's just harder to knit at the beginning, and it takes a while to get the hang of a project. You may remember that I had a scarf like the one you don't like. I had just completed it the first time I met you. My sister had also made it; she was unhappy with the wide-and-narrow look, so she took it apart and did it end to end, so the stripes go lengthwise. It takes dozens of stitches, but it can really look great after it's done. It's true that knitting isn't a money-saver, just a nice hobby for those who get satisfaction from handwork.Lisassuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186306481762862558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26687666.post-15014457715949227852011-03-18T05:48:15.148-07:002011-03-18T05:48:15.148-07:00You are definitely a knitter! lol You've just...You are definitely a knitter! lol You've just described the whole knitting experience. I'm not sure there's anyone out there who doesn't end up ripping stuff out. With that said, I'm wondering how your yarn would work if you knit your scarf from side to side (instead of end to end). Your areas of different yarn types/sizes would be less concentrated and not as noticeable, but still beautiful. Hope this makes sense!imquilternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960121584050010339noreply@blogger.com
