I started this scarf during Knitting Daily TV taping in September. I had a sample ball of yarn, came into a sample pair of needles, and picked the simple one-row lace pattern from Eunny’s Spectrum Scarf.

Little did I know the colour changes in the yarn would lead to such an entertaining project. You should’ve been sitting with me when that pink started feeding my needles—the words that came out of my mouth! After the dull orange, warm brown, and hideous cold yellow, it was a shock, that’s for sure. And that green! What were they thinking when they made this yarn?

That said, of course I freaking love the scarf. It’s soft and comfy, and I hate the colours so much there’s nothing to do but love it.

Project details on Ravelry.

    It's not ugly. It's vintage modern? :)

    That silly Emma. She's referring to http://www.sproost.com. Fun quiz! My style is apparently 100% vintage modern. Which I learned just as I'm starting to itch to redecorate our entire house. Unfortunately, Greg's style is like cabin-in-the-woods-rustic-craftsman. Sigh.
