Another Scarf

 I wanted to knit another spiral ruffled scarf, and see how a different colour yarn on the first and last rows of the pattern would affect the wave. So here is BobE.
 Single wrap


















Double wrap













What do you think? Do you like it better with the extra colour?

I like the way it emphasizes the spiral. I might just do a few more, since I have tubs of yarn to play with.



Hope your day is filled with colour.


Thanks for visiting.

Hugs from Suz

  3. It looks beautifull Suz,
    I wish I did knit a little bit more, but in the evening my hands and fingers are so tired, from working all day, in my studio, so only now and then, I start something.

  5. Diane, I really like this pattern since it's so easy to make. It does take a bit of time, though. Thanks for your lovely comment! Hugs

  7. A very pretty scarf, Suz. I don't like knitting scarves much as they're rather boring to knit. Adding an extra colour keeps the interest up when knitting, and wearing!

    Happy New Year

  8. Hi Suz. Love the ruffle scarf. I think the extra colour does emphasise the spiral. It's great when we find something to work on that can be made in many different colourways isn't it : ) Thanks for visiting my blog today. My day was certainly filled with colour : )

  9. Thanks Janet. I know you are an amazing knitter, but I'm not that accomplished, so scarves are still great for me to do since I knit while watching TV. Maybe someday I'll improve on my skills and up the difficulty. Hugs

  11. My gosh girl - your talents are endless! I love the extra color it really gives it a bit more dimension. Wish I had more time to really learn more about knitting but I've only got 10 fingers and you know what they are usually working on LOL!

    BTW - Happy New Year! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead with lots of creative endeavors!
