I started a mistake rib scarf yesterday, thinking it would make a great mobile project. It's Koigu held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze worked on a size 11 needle. The Rowan color is called Jelly, how can you not love it? I bought the yarn on Sunday at Woolwinders, and was inspired to do the pattern by Jody. This morning I took this picture, mostly because I like the colors so much, and as I look at the photograph, it looks quite nice. Somehow, though, when I was moving it around to position it properly, I started noticing all these flaws -- mostly several stitch mistakes -- and before you could spell K-O-I-G-U. I had unraveled it. Question is, when I start it again, what stitch do I use? The mistake rib was more elastic than I expected it to be. Hmmm, have to think on this.
Speaking of mistakes, I haven't written about the Apricot Jacket for a while. I've decided to let it sit a little bit -- I still am really stumped by whatever I did wrong in following the pattern for the two front sections.
Jacqui put the buttons on Perkins today and we will take pictures and email them to you. It looks spectacular!

the colors look great together! since you're using the KSH you could go with something a bit more open without sacrificing warmth. a simple yo, k2tog pattern could look really nice. but honestly, just about anything would! it's kid silk haze and koigu. what's not to love :)

I'm a fan of seed stitch or double seed for scarves. I think it really shows off beautiful yarn like Koigu (I have one done in handspun from hello yarn in my blog gallery if you're interested) and it lays flat. If you cast on an odd number, you can start every row with a knit and not have to think about it.
Best wishes for a very fast pain-free surgery experience.

As you know, I've knitted this up in a simple seed stitch. The yarns are the magic and I think the stitchwork should not overshadow the yarn.

Oooh, the scarf is so pretty. Good luck finding another pattern--maybe herringbone rib. It's fairly inelastic and the eyelets portion would show off the Jelly fuzz nicely.
