Destashing

I was up in Vermont recently and Justine and I popped into the Warren Store. The Warren Store is a schmancy-pants "general store" in Warren, VT where they sell coffee, sandwiches, candy and beautiful clothes and jewelry made by small designers and artisans. It's fun to go in there and take a look. They had some nice handbags made out of old fur coats, and a few of these scarves, by Delinda Symes.



I like the way these scarves are symmetrically organized, using several different strands of different yarns. This could be a really great way to use up small leftover balls of yarn you have lying in your stash.

Here's my reverse-engineering of this piece:

* Cast on a ton of loops. You're casting on the length, not the width of the scarf.
* First Row: knit 5-10 stitches, let 5-10 loops off. Repeat to end
* Second row: knit the stitches on the needles and leave a yarn distance between your knitting equal to the one that's already there.
* Repeat 2nd row until you're done.

It might be interesting to only let out the yarn distance every other row. Then you'd get loops.
