So I did a thing.
Yup.
I cast on for a Noro Scarf with the Landscapes yarn.
Just look at those stripes
Who can resist knitting stripe after stripe of glorious rainbow colors?
Obviously not me.
But now I have a dilemma.
I have one skein of each color. Ravelry projects say this can be knit with two skeins. But most of those projects cast on for fewer stitches than the pattern suggest. I cast the 39 stitches the original scarf called for and my scarf is a little over six inches wide. While I love the wider scarf I fear I'm sacrificing length for width and I will end up with a scarf that is too short.
So I frog it all and reknit with a more slender cast on?
Or do I turn a stash busting project into a yarn acquisition project and attempt to track down a few more skeins of Landscape? The nature of this project allows for different dye lots or even different color schemes.
Decisions. Decisions.
I should probably go back to knitting my big mammoth cocoon while I mull over my choices in my head.
Yarn acquisition! I think any scarf <6" is Too.Narrow.
