After I saw Alice's My So Called Scarf, I knew I had to make one for myself. I had originally thought I'd use a bit of leftover Malabrigo worsted merino; but I had less than one skein and it just didn't feel right for this project.
Then, earlier this week I realized I had the perfect yarn for it in my stash already - Colinette Mezzotint in this awesome nightshade colorway. It's not as soft as the Malabrigo would have been, but I doubt I could ever find a pattern better suited to showing off this yarn's spectacular colors.
Simply put, they're gorgeous! Teals, blues and purples swirl with bits of green and a fair bit of grey mixed in - the finished object will look stunning with my new grey wool peacoat. (I'll try and get a pic of that soon, too - but no promises, I'm gone on Friday!)
Now, I'm flaking on my needle size choice, and wondering if I should frog it and restart with larger needles. I started with 10.5's and now I'm thinking I need to go up to 13's. Hhmmmph.
I can tell already that the scarf is going to look fabulous. That yarn *is* gorgeous, it's perfect for that stitch pattern.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are going love working with that stuff the whole way! I have been in the mood for a MSCS for the last couple weeks--it seems several other people had the same thought!
ReplyDeleteYes that is definitely the PERFECT yarn for that scarf! I loooove the colors, it makes me want to make another one!
ReplyDeleteWow that pattern works so well with the colors in that yarn. Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The yarn is gorgeous and the stitch pattern looks great with it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a great pattern/yarn match!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color yarn, and I love this scarf but alas...I live in Miami, no need. :D Thanks for the positive comment on my Razor Cami. Yeah, It turned out okay but of course in that pic on my blog I'm hiding the armpit area where I messed up. I didn't add the straps where the points are at the armpit division...looks funny, but I really care. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks again!
