“Indian Corn” it is…
I worked off and on all day on the Indian Corn stole but didn’t get it finished :( The good news is that the end is definitely in sight and it should be completed sometime this weekend. Am I going to bore you with pictures of it still unfinished? You bet :)
I guess that name is going to stick. It surfaced in my noggin as a useful way to refer to it while it was still in progress but I hadn’t been thinking of using it as a permanent moniker because the reference is all to the colors. This will be more like a set of guidelines than a real pattern (much like the Lace Mohair Blanket) and I am loathe to suggest or even imply that this is the only set of acceptable hues. I guess I’ll just have to bear that in mind when I write up the process :)
The scarf is better than halfway done and has been as enjoyable a project this time as it was the first. I think I’m going to block this one a little differently. The first scarf suffered some slight distortion of the lace motifs due to rigorous pinning. I think this time, I’ll stick to finger smoothing with, perhaps, an occasional, gently placed pin just to even out the sides to see if I can keep the lace from skewing.

See the “Knitting Chatter” button on the side bar for more information.
Drop by for a while if you’re in the neighborhood!
And have a wonderful weekend!
