I purchased the Mango Moon scarf kit with recycled silk and ribbon (knit a scarf, help women in need--what could be better?). It was coming along nicely, until I realized I was going to run out of yarn. Of course, the instructions say to knit until you run out, but I was really hoping for a longer scarf.
The yarns came together nicely. Here they are separately:
And together:
In order to demonstrate the length, I fetched the yardstick and determined the scarf as exactly 36". How's that for not trying? It's also too wide--something I should have noticed sooner, but I liked the idea of a wide scarf... if only it were long enough.
Long story short: I ripped it out entirely and I'm starting over with a shorter cast on (instead of 23 stitches, I'm going to use 14). Maybe I'll get another foot out of it.
