I’d always wanted to try Moda Dea Ticker Tape, don’t ask me why. When a store near the apartment was getting rid of ALL its yarn stock, the only yarn I bought was this. $2. Pink. Surely you could have seen this coming.
What to do with it though. It’s not as though I lack pink scarves. There’s these, that, and this. Did I need a fifth pink scarf? The answer, clearly, was YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But a neckscarf this time. Not a long one, but one just long enough to tie jauntily to one side and drape over my collar, not too hot for upcoming job interviews, but also not too lame-o. Plain garter stitch, clearly, was OUT.
Then I thought about Crazy Aunt Purl’s drop stitch scarf tutorial. YES! I’d never done this before, and hey, a small scarf, what the hey. I decided to do three garter ridges, a two wrap drop stitch, three more garter ridges, a one wrap drop stitch. Rinse, repeat.
It’s just a silly little scarf, but sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed.
