The corner-to-corner scarf got finished, well, sort of finished. I usually put an edging on things, but I’m going back and forth on this wondering if it will look odd to have different colors travelling around the edges of the stripes. I’m going to think on that one for a bit.
I completed it while I was at my Father-in-Law’s house. I had not brought any supplies for another project, foolish of me this time of year as there is always something that can be done. I had more of the same yarn since I had picked up an extra skein not knowing how much I would use, and decided to just start working it up with some simple double crochet. Depending on the length, it will either become another scarf or a cowl.
I thought it was interesting to see how the two patterns looked side by side. And I’m still happy I can get stripes without having to weave in the ends.

Wow that is crazy how different they look I love them both
The C2C pattern somehow seems to make each individual color stand out more.
It is fun to play with color!
It is! It is nice to have blog friends who understand that.
I love variegated yarns. When I use them in weaving, I always feel like I’m cheating a little because the effect can look so much more complicated than the weaving really is!
I also like being exposed to color combinations I would not have thought to put together. This colorway has a grey/taupe in it that works well with the brighter colors and I would not have ever included it if I were selecting individual colors for a bright scarf.
