Boy I’m late getting back here to the blog–sorry.
Some of you know Linda, our super special sample knitter, show helper, and adopted Jewish mother 🙂 Linda took home a skein of Flamenco, and here’s her report.
First, it is easier to work with if, like ChaCha, you wind it around some cardboard. Or, another alternative is a wound ball, instead of the pull skein. The pull skein is slippery and can disintegrate into a big mess.
Linda's Flamenco Scarf
Here’s Linda’s favorite scarf pattern: 8 stitches across, but the stitches are every other hole apart. This results in a somewhat thinner but a longer scarf from one ball. Take a look
I think Linda really hit on something because this configuration is more susceptible to gravity. As a result the scarf gets thinner around your neck and flares at the ends. A very pretty result, don’t you think?
