Ruffle Yarn Scarf On Knifty Knitter

The yarn in the photo is Broadway made by Knitting Fever.  It was made on the blue round Knifty Knitter.

Blue Knifty Knitter
1 Ball Broadway

We marked the pegs that were going to be used.  You will be using 8 pegs for the yarn, but skip every other peg so this will be spread over 16 pegs. 

When you open the yarn you will see it has a mesh like appearance.  using the NON-metallic edge you will put 1 hole over each of the 8 pegs being used.  You do not need to wrap.  After doing those 8 pegs you will turn and go over those 8 pegs so you have 2 strands on each peg.  Unlike the usual times you won't slip each edge stitch.  When you get to the end of the 8 pegs the second time take the hook and work the yarn as usual.  You do this for all the rows until you are near the end of the ball.  Then take a crochet hook and put the strand on the end peg on the hook and the next hole on the yarn on the hook and chain it off.  do this again with the yarn and then go to the peg.  Two times with the yarn and then the peg.  Repeat until you are done with the pegs.  Pull the yarn through the loop and weave in your ends.

All Is Well

All is going well.  Have gotten a couple knitting projects (mosaic hat & cowl) done in the past week.  Started planning for my DAR American Heritage projects.  Loving that the LYS has moved to within a mile from home.  My 3rd project for the Ravellenics is going along.  Have hit a hitch, but am working it out.  Now just waiting for the landlord to come and check on a problem.  How much better can things get?
