Stash Sunday: Introducing Aubergine

She has a name now!

I\’m so excited – I settled on a name, and I\’m nearly done with the scarf!  This picture is a little too heavily slanted toward blue, but you get the idea.  I\’ve decided the name is Aubergine.  I should be done in another day or two.

This is a fun project because the stitch is much simpler than it looks.  It\’s just a four row repeat, and two of those rows is to Purl across.  What could be easier?  This would be suitable for a beginner, as long as they know how to cast on and bind off, knit, purl, and do yarn overs.

Pro-tip – keep your yarn untangled by moving the working skein around the waiting yarn on each color change.  Otherwise you\’ll have a wadded up mess before you go five or ten repeats.  No fun.
