Contagious knitting

Readers, meet Becky's Herringbone Rib Scarf. Scarf, meet the readers. 

Becky's Herringbone Rib

How best to explain the progression of our acquaintance? I'll try point form:

  • June, my coworker, heard about my Herringbone Rib Scarf pattern, published in Knitting for Good.
  • For Christmas, June, a non-knitter, gave the book to her knitting buddy Becky.
  • Becky knit several of the scarves, giving one to June for her recent BIG birthday. She used Manos del Uruguay silk blend in colourway 113, which produced a lightweight version of the original, perfect for spring.
  • June brought the scarf into work for a quick photo shoot on an office chair.

I love knitting contagion. A pattern, a book, some yarn, a friend, a blog, a knitting epidemic.

    How cool! And the scarf is gorgeous.
    (I want to hear the story of the bomb scare and the cops, though. 😉

    Linda took out a shawlette to show us at knit nite and it was made from the 3 balls of yarn that Lynn (seated next to her) had returned after making a different shawl. Happy Easter!

    Resistance is futile! That scarf has finally nudged me into asking for your scarf pattern. Please? We’re working on paring down, so I don’t need the entire book. I would be happy to make a modest donation to a charity of your choice if you name it in your email with the pattern. One kind deed begats another as it were.

    I have been trying to puzzle out this pattern stitch for a year. The local yarn shop has a sample but no one knows how it was knitted as they lost the pattern. Could I get a copy of the pattern? Thanks.

    I have come across your pattern rather late in the game, but I would love to make it. I have some manos del uruguay that is calling out to be a herringbone rib scarf. Thanks for sharing.

    I was directed to your blog after looking at your Herringbone Rib scarf pattern on Ravelry. It caught my eye, and I would like to knit this if you’d be so kind as to direct me to the pattern. Thank you.
