badstarIt amazes me how much farther yarn will go when knitting ten stitches to a row on #17 needles than it will knitting 10/row on #10 needles.
I have this single skein of the silk yarn that's of a much thinner spin than the rest, and because of its difference in thickness, wouldn't mix very well in with the rest, unless I used it for edging or something, but its coloring is soooooooo pretty, it would kill it to mix it up with other stuff. I've got about 2 feet knitted and barely made a dent in the ball so far, so it's going to be a fiarly long scarf. I'd have loved to have a tighter knit, I actually did knit all the way to the end on #10's...and I was only doing 8 stitches to a row, and it wasn't long enough...so I unraveled it, thought about chain-stitch crocheting it, and decided to go with the bigger knitting needles instead. It's working out well, I could probably make it a bit wider but I don't feel like undoing the progress. When all is said and done, I might drop a few stitches for added width but I will decide that when I finish.
I wish the camera that I have here captured color decently so I could post a picture...but it's really pretty horrific, even in very bright light.
