Obit: Montego Bay Scarf
Posted by Andi on April 26, 2008
I loved this scarf when I was finally finished with it, yet I didn’t wear it much because soon it became to cold.
I took it out yesterday to wear it, and there in front of me was a horrible site. It was unraveling.
Apparently the combination of the slippery microfiber yarn and the open work pattern meant that the ends I wove in came out. Stitches were hanging all over the place. There’s really no way to salvage it.
Right now I have to decide whether I want to frog it and use the yarn again or if I should just toss the thing. Knitting with this yarn wasn’t the best experience, and I fear if I were to make something else the same thing would happen. But I love how it looks. Although, if I make something that’s not as open, more normal knitting, would it be less likely to unravel? I don’t know. I think for now it’s just going to be stuffed in a corner.
