Jayne scarf
The color joins on the Jayne scarf are working out much better now. Every morning I knit another section on the scarf, then work on a hat so I don’t fall too far behind on other orders. I offered this one for $60, because I didn’t want to charge too much without knowing exactly how much yarn and time it would take. Next time, I’ll charge more.
The end is flipped up so you can see it’s stockinette on both sides. Ah, the magic of double-knitting. It’s a great technique for reversible fabrics. In this case, I’m using it because she wanted it to be little v-stitches all the way around, and I a) didn’t want to tie up my circular needle for as long as it would take to knit the scarf, and b) knew that by the time I had knit all those rows on a circular needle, I would have strangled myself with orange yarn from sheer boredom.
Actually, there’s really not much of a reason to post this, since it’s not done and I’ll probably post pics again once it’s done and has fringe attached. However, I’m feeling pretty satisfied with it and what’s the point of a ‘blog if you can’t preen a little?
Side note: I think I want a mannequin/dressform display for showing off scarves. Sadie’s great and all, but she doesn’t exactly scream “class.” Especially since she was used as a dartboard by a bunch of college boys in the 90’s. My husband, ladies and gentlemen.
It looks great! Double-knitting is pretty magical. I also like 1×1 rib for that nice fake stockinette look. Yea, I’m lazy :-p

You poor thing. Your retinas must have the color of Tang seared in for life.

Hee! It’s true. The irony behind the whole Jayne hat enterprise is that while I do love Firefly, and I’m happy do to this…
…I HATE ORANGE.

I am loving this! I know nothing of Firefly, but red & orange are my favorite colors, so I think this is so awesome! So bright!

Class she may be lacking in, but she’s got character.

Heh. You should have seen her back when she wore a Tina Turner wig, grass skirt, and coconut bra.
I never asked where she got her undergarments, and I don’t want to know.

It’s probably a tale better left untold.

Yeah, I thought about 1×1 rib, and she probably wouldn’t have know the difference. But she mentioned Harry Potter scarves, and there are a hell of a lot of ends to weave in and I can just kind of… stuff the ends inside. 🙂

Ooh, good call! I wasn’t thinking about all the ends 🙂

It’s a beautiful scarf!
I like the way you chose to order the colors & the widths of each stripe in the pattern.
