I think I am finally happy with the progress that I am making on my Scrappy Lengthwise Scarf. I have started it 3 times. Each time I wasn't happy with it for a different reason. I didn't like the yarns together or I was messing up the pattern. The pattern isn't really difficult, I just can't talk as much as I might like (thank you Mom for pointing that out)! Apparently as a child I couldn't watch TV and cook dinner either, because things would get burnt. Sigh!
Anyways, I also have found that you really need to use similar weight sock yarn, as all are not created equal, or it just doesn't lay very nicely.

I am thinking now that I might be making it for one of the girls. Especially since my oldest has shown quite a keen interest in it.
You can find this pattern free on ravelry.

Well, the colors are working out very nicely. What a great concept to make a scarf out of leftover sock yarn. I can see why a young girl would be interested in your scarf - the colors are FUN.
your scarf is looking great! and i totally concur that this 'woven' pattern - however simple - requires extra attention. loved your last post about your girl's birthday - taking them out for a bit is so much better than all the food and running and screaming at the house.
I love how we learn about ourselves during our creative endeavors! and being confident to share yourself with all of us...even better!
What fun colors! I could see how a scrappy scarf could get you a little nuts, finding the right scraps to pair together is key. Have fun knitting!
Love the colours in the scarf!! What a great way to use up those small quantities of yarn. No wonder your daughter is claiming it!
Our summer holidays go from mid December to end of January - not quite as long as yours! The school year is divided into 4, ten week terms, with a two week break in between each term. This year by children will be in Year 11 and Year 8 - time goes so fast!
Ooooo...I like it. Very much.
I suppose we all live and learn. I've certainly been there and done that with many a project. The colors are gorgeous. And don't feel too badly, I can only do one thing at a time. Except I can drive and sing-a-long with the radio quite well -- just ask my kids (kidding).
Your scrappy scarf is really pretty....so bright and quite happy looking!
that is such a cool pattern and I love the yarns you're using with it...such a gratifying project to use up scraps
I am so glad to see that I am not the only one who rips things out a bazillion times before I get it "just right"! I am re-learning knitting and just finished my first project (which I started over SEVEN times!!) and started a scarf for my husband last night (restarted twice so far!)The colors of your scarf are lovely, I can't wait to see it finished!
This is a great idea for using up extra yarn! I bought a bag of homespun yarn in different colors from Goodwill and it would be perfect for this scarf. Yours is looking very nice already!
