The scarves!!! :thud: and of course :notworthy: :notworthy:

The scrunchable knit with Mmmmmm using Addis has to be one of the best knitting experiences I’ve ever had. In general using Addis and Mmmm is orgasmic, actually.

:thud:

And fondling the scarf scrunchable Mmmmmalabrigo scarf that Angelia knit tops my list of knitting experiences too!

Ingrid · September 4, 2006, 6:36am

It’s on Addis, of course, and it’s the same colorway! We’ll be twins!

system · September 4, 2006, 6:38am

You two will be twins! I don’t know if I have enough Mmmmm left in brown berries to make myself a scrunchable, but I am about to cast on one in that loverly green. And I’m using two hanks b/c I like my scarves loooooooooooooooooooooong.

Ingrid · September 4, 2006, 6:40am

I have 3 skeins. I’m thinking of making mittens with it, too. Or a hat if I decide to give the set as a gift. I was going to use one skein for the scarf, make the hat or mittens, and then finish the scarf with what I have left.

How long did yours turn out to be?

With one hank and a cast-on of 20 stitches, I think it was about 5 or 6 feet…hey Dilly, how long is that scarf?

Dilly · September 4, 2006, 6:46am

75". I just measured it.

Ingrid · September 4, 2006, 6:48am

Mine’s wider, but with 3 skeins, I should have plenty, with no need to order more. size=1[/size]

I edited that sentence for you, Ingy. It was full of typos…:shifty:

Ingrid · September 4, 2006, 7:06am

Thanks! I needed that! I should proofread what I type. :shifty:

system · September 4, 2006, 7:15am

I know! I mean for a second there, those typos made me think you didn’t need more yarn!

[size=7]What kind of English teacher says “What Ingrid meant to wrote” ??? [/size][/color]

I’m making a two hank mmmmMalabrigo scrunchable. It was only going to be a hank and a half, but the colors are SO different that I decided it would be slightly less ugly and wrong looking if it turned out to be half and half. :roll: I’m starting to rethink the mmmMalabrigo sweater thing unless I find a shop that sells it so I can inspect the hanks to make sure they actually match.

And it was the Music Teacher that picked up on it! :roflhard: :roflhard:

Ingrid · September 4, 2006, 9:48am

Something to keep an eye out for–thanks.

CateKnits · September 4, 2006, 9:53am

It may have been a freak thing, Ingrid. And I think I would have noticed if I’d paid more attention while winding the ball, so I SHOULD have caught it before I started knitting. Oh, well. It’s still the softest thing I’ve ever touched.

Vendie · September 4, 2006, 10:13am

Isn’t that usually a problem with hand dyed things like Manos and Malabrigo? I’m chancing it with my urban aran. It’s going to be a hand knit design feature if it happens. But I ordered all the yarn at once, and it was bagged, so hopefully it’ll be ok. But I do have a rogue ball of the same color from a previous purchase floating in my stashing. Hopefully it doesn’t find its way into my sweater.
