All You Need is.....Red

 Red, red, red.  I don't know what I'm going to do when I run out of red yarn. Yes, there's other charities to knit for, though one local just posted that some items aren't required for awhile. 

This one I worked on while taking Megan to Thunder Bay; 2 day road trip and a flight home.  96gr

Above--two basic rib stitch scarves, 125gr and 110gr.

Below:  This one is the most recent, it went to Calgary/Banff with me. It's a two yarn brioche/slip rib. It was kind of tricky to set up since it's done flat, on one circular needle. 85gr

One side has the thin yarn as the knit stitches, and you can see the thick yarn being carried

The other side, you basically see only the thick yarn's knit stitches.

Makes for an interesting reversible fabric. You're basically knitting a 4 row pattern:

Row 1--thick yarn, knit every other stitch, slip the purl stitches

Row 2--slide stitches back to tip, use thin yarn and work the purl stitches, slip the thick knits

Row 3--Turn, work the purl stitches with thick yarn and slip the thin knits

Row 4--slide back to tip, use thin yarn to knit the thin knits and slip the thick purls.

It took awhile to post these because I washed the ribbed ones, and there was something in the load that left fuzz all over them. I finally got a sweater shaver and now they look okay.

Currently working on a ribbed one that one row thick yarn, one row thin yarn--again, on circular needles so I can slide the work back as needed. It has a very interesting texture! Almost a crocheted look.

Still haven't bought yarn. Thought I might on our family trip but I was out voted when it came time to choose free time LOL
