I have a cousin who never looks at a pattern. She just picks up her needles and knits until the fabric becomes what it is going to be. Ahhh.....just to be knitting. She has knit up interesting things.
I feel compelled to knit and often I find myself wondering what to do next. Yes, there is always hats, and mittens, socks, but I have a stash of left over sock yarn and I am thinking scarf. Scarfs are fun, and there are just so many options of design to choose from.
It began with a skein of Plymouth Happy Feet sock yarn. I casted on an even number of stitches and working the moss stitch I began.
The Moss stitch
The moss stitch is a two stitch four row repeat as follows.
Row 1: K1, P1 to end
Row 2: P1, K1 to end
Row 3: P1, K1 to end
Row 4: K1, P1 to end
I came to the end of the skein. I went to my stash and picked out all the left over yarn from the socks I knit this past winter, and picking another yarn continued. I like knitting this scarf, and there are rules. I make them up as I go, and change them when ever I want.
The rules for this scarf are these: It was to be continued in the moss stitch through out. There are no repeats of any of the yarn. And it has to be long.
