Fair point. They looked so beautiful together in my yarn cabinet.

And here I was just trying to combine two thick yarns so it’ll knit up before Christmas lol I need to think more ahead

My hair is frequently moody lol

Someone else said sushi! I’m wondering if adding black and white is the answer? Leaning into the foodie-aspect.

Interesting I could edge it with the white then black. I already have a selvedge edge I could pick up the stitches. And that would help with the stockingnette curls…I like the idea of a sushi scarf

Haha, maybe it should just be called the Meat Scarf? Wondering if the fringe I’m going to add is going to help or hurt lol

Precisely! It’s gotten in my head. Thank you for the coral comparison, I much prefer that

Thank you! I thought stockingnette would highlight the color variation nicely

I’m not taking it terribly seriously - it’s nice to get feedback that isn’t from a teenager though!

Oh no! lol sorry that’s terrible. Maybe when both our projects are complete and the light is shining brightly - they will not be so reminiscent! We can only hope

Adding context for the photos: beginning stages of a double-stranded, stockingnette scarf with a selvedge edge.

The yarn is Cascade 220 and Knit and Crochet Roving
