The mohair stripes scarf is moving along!
It is all bunched up here, as there is a lot of this scarf! I have to admit that a short way into the pattern I lost track of which yarn was A,B,C, etc., as the pattern tells you to just assign a letter to each yarn in whatever way you want. I probably should have done up a key card or labeled the skeins, but I didn’t. Instead I’ve been just sort of winging it, and I think it is working out just fine. I’m trying to sort of alternate brushed with boucle yarns and more or less switch up stockinette with garter, but not strict alternations. The yarn was a really nicely coordinated set in the first place, which definitely helped!
I could probably stop at this point, but there is this much yarn left
and I’m determined to use up as much of it as I can. Maybe if there’s enough left Harry or Dolores can have a scarf or similar too 🙂
How are your projects going?
Quite A Yarn 
That would be adorable for Harry and Dolores to have a matching scarf too! The colors are so pretty!

Oh it looks so good! I am thinking I should get back to my one of my two WIPs 🤔 One blanket and one basket, not sure which one (or start something new 🤣).

I like your improvisational approach. This project is a perfect vehicle for improv. There is a story that Elizabeth Zimmerman would divide her yarn scraps into lights and darks, and then blindly choose colors as she knit her Baby Surprise jackets.

That sounds like it would work out pretty well for a lot of different projects!

Well I feel Harry’s wardrobe is a little sparse in comparison with Dolores, so seems a wee scarf will keep him warm. 🙂

I don’t know that I’d want to do a lot of it either, but I do love this scarf!
