I have to tack the ends up and then the S&M scarf is done.
Thank you . Did you post any picās of your scarf? Are you on Ravelry? If you are I am KEMER on there. I post my project on there . I like how I can keep track of everything .
No pics yet. Iāll post one here on KH if I remember to get it. Do you have hand pics I could see?
By the end of the scarf I was just starting to get the hang of working with Sashay. I still donāt think I want to do another.
speaking of sashay-as-s&mā¦ just watched a video on how to work with patonās pirouetteā¦ doesnāt look any fun either. iām thinking 2 ruffle scarves, and then no more of it gets to come home with meā¦
.
I am working with a similar yarn but I canāt recall the name right now. Iām not really following a pattern. I donāt mind working with it. maybe itās just because Iām making a simple scarf? Or maybe I just havenāt witnessed its full glory?:shrug:
Iāll see if I can post some picās
:hair:I can resize my photos to post on this forum:hair: I canāt even find a resize on my laptop :shrug: Iām posting picās of my Gargoyle on my FB for now
I posted photos on my project page on Ravelry of my Gargoyle hands
My scarf was 8 stitches. Knit 8, turn, knit 8, turnā¦ I finally at the very end was getting the hang of working with it but I still donāt like it. Some people love it, Iām glad because it does make pretty ruffly scarves.
On a brighter note, this morning I actually knitted English fairly comfortably and wonder of wonders I did some English style purl stitches. :woohoo:
Your hands handiwork looks good to me. When you do the next gargoyle youāll know what to do!
Ohhhhh! You knit continental? That may be why you donāt like it. I casted on 4 stitches. I wonder what would happen if you did stockinette? Mmmmā¦ Iāll try it.
Have fun! I donāt think it will make much difference but want to know now that you brought it up. Report back on the results, please.
Yes, I knit Continental and have been trying off and on for the whole time Iāve been knitting to do English. Why? I want to do two handed color work and because I want to conquer this challenge!
Yānow what happens? All the ruffles end up on one side of the scarf! So one side is ruffles and the other side is Stockinette. It looks sort of cool.
Yeah? Wow. Whoādathunkit? lol
I posted the FO in my blog thread.

That looks better than mine! In fact, that looks pretty good to me!
Iām not unhappy with how it turned out. I think one or both of my girls (DD&GD) will love it. All the time I was knitting it I kept thinking, āItās knitting, Jim, but not as we know it.ā I think I saw a Tribbles pattern at one time, maybe Iāll go look for it. 
How do you normally finish the ends of those scarfs? I know the pattern that I have ( but Iām not following it) says to sew the ends into the scarf but I was wondering if there was a different way. I donāt mind sewing but it just isnāt my favorite hobby.
I folded them up and sewed them down so that they donāt show. If it turns out they do show then the recipient can figure out how to do it better. On this one I used crochet cotton for tacking things down, the other one got some thin matching yarn. I did try folding the ends and knitting them together with the regular stitch but it didnāt work for me, I think someone with more nimble fingers could manage it.
I have a hood/neck warmer that just needs buttons sewn on. It waits oh so patiently for me to sew the buttons on and why I put it off I donāt know.
I could make an infinity scarf/moebius/cowl thing. Think Iāll call it a scowl. :teehee:
I need to knit up something that I donāt need to follow the pattern after the Gargoyle is done. Sometimes you just need to do that. I have the pattern for an Entrelac scarf just have to work up the courage to start it.
I made a cowl last year using Araucania Limar , I just love it and I made is so I could pull it up and over my head for those snowy blustery days. I Love just about all of Araucania 's yarns . I just bought some called Aysen to knit a basic sweater with. Itās just so soft and warm.
As for the ends , I just use a chibby and weave it back through the ws of my projects ,it blends right in.
