Diversion

Got some new yarn from an online sale. Why does new yarn always seem to group itself? Is it because yarn that appeals to me already has a certain similarity, or just the fact that any reasonable variety pack of yarn will simply form groups?

These are scarf packs I put together. And here are some of the results.

This first one is a snake scarf, done in two colors, one noro.

The next is done in simple lace of three yarns, 15 stitches, first row knit, second row make 2 in first stitch, knit 5, knit 3 together, knit 5, make 2 in last stitch, and third row knit. Then change to the next yarn. After one repeat of this in all three yarns, I added a row 4 after the first 3, of knit i, and then yarnover and knit two together to the end, row 5, knit. Repeat these 5 rows through all three colors twice, then repeat the 3-row version, etc. I carried the unused yarns up the side.

Last one was a simple diagonal, three colors alternated in large sections, of all rows yarnover knit two together.

So much for a little intoxicating color fun -- time to return to the main piece.
