The Power of Bold

I had a vision of a very bold scarf, two colors, two vertical stripes.  The finished product is just what I'd hoped for.

This scarf has been my mindless/on the road knitting over the past few weeks.  It was alternately completely ignored and compulsively worked. 

This time of year, mindless projects are welcome.  I've had to battle DD#1 for ownership.  It'll be hers by the end of the week. . .

Yummy Koigu Kersti is so squishy, especially when worked in garter stitch.  And my, oh my those Koigu colors do get me every time!   I was in Purl Soho tonight admiring them again.  One of the gals who works there was pulling out glorious combinations.  I was tempted, but turned to other yarn choices in the end.

My wreath has been so dull, since I have yet to get around to buying a bow.  But no, this scarf belongs around my DD#1's neck.  The wreath will have to wait.

Love the color combo! Too bad, but it looks really good on the wreath. But I am sure it will look better on DD#1.

Yes I can see why there might be a fight over this....very nice!

[Ruth]

Great colours, it suits the wreath perfectly!

[Stephanie]

Very beautiful. I love the color combo and how they both have hints of eachother in them. Those koigu people sure know what they are doing.

[karen - from me to you]

I'm not a "yellow person" but I have to admit that "your" scarf is a pure beauty.

Oooh! I love the scarf. I also love PurlSoHo, although I've never been there. Their site is one of my favorites. I want to make the scarf! Would you share with me what you did to make it (I guess just how many you cast-on)? Also, what two colors did you use? I know it's a super busy time of year, but if you could email and tell me, that would be so great! I'm such a big fan of your knitting!

Beautiful. I love the fact that even though it is 2 totally different skeins, there seems to be a gradual transition of color. Must be the slight variegation....

I love the colors and that yarn looks super cushy. It makes a nice wreath bow too. :)
