From the same type of yarns and two different patterns, here are the "twins":
Ever wonder how different patterns will turn out using the same yarn? I’ve made four scarves from Anny Blatt Scarf Kits, comprised of one skein of Superangora (116 yards) held together with one skein of Victoria (109 yards). The kits make quick and always appreciated gifts.
Pictured above are the first two:
1. Orangy pink, purple and blues – using the drop stitch pattern enclosed with the kit, but downsizing to Size 15 needles. Final measurements are 68×4.5
2. Light aquas and soft springy greens – a feather and fan pattern using size 11 needles. Final measurements are 64×4.
The second set of twins:
3. Pictured below is a mistaken rib using size 11 needles. I don’t have the measurement, but believe it was about 48 inches long.
4. I was able to get these luxurious kits at under half price so I splurged and made a narrower version of the the Vintage Velvet Scarf using two kits and six 11 needles. The finished product? One heavy sumptuous 62.5×3.5 cabled scarf.
Meet another set of fraternal twins, photographed just five blocks from my house. These are Vancouver’s "Lion’s" keeping guard over the city. Before I met Vancouver I thought the most beautiful places I’d ever seen were Lake Tahoe and Megan’s Bay, St. Thomas. Now I think BC has taken the lead; at least when the sun is shining. Where’s your geographical high?
