Souvenir Scarf

The yarn that I bought by mistake made a really lovely scarf for KD. I searched on the yarn and yardage in Ravelry and came upon a scarf pattern that was awesome. The original scarf pattern was clever, but didn't appeal to me. However, the someone who worked it in the yarn I had on hand had converted the pattern to brioche, and it was awesome!


I taught myself the Italian cast on, a brioche selvedge stitch, and tubular bind off. And wound up working the woven part twice because I made the strips too long, which made the weave too loose. But now it's done, and pretty as a picture!


Needles: US 8 (5.00 mm)
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heather in Tangerine Heather
Pattern: Patricia Everett's Celtic Knot Looped Scarf
Mods: Worked the scarf in brioche stitch

Do you suspend the laws of physics for the whole neighborhood when you work these spells, or just your block? And don't the neighbors complain?

It usually balances within the household. On A's baking day, I forgot how to turn a heel on a sock (the result fit the width of my thumb), and how to work the first stitch of every row in the scarf above. I just had to wait it out.
