In the middle of doing the shoulderette, I decided I didn't like the pattern so much. I ripped out whatever was on the needles and started all over again with a pattern I saw in one of the books I borrowed last month. The pattern is called Woven Knit and is basically this:
Row 1: *Knit 1, move yarn to front and slip the next stitch purlwise, move yarn back; repeat from * to end of row.
Row 2: *Purl 1, move yarn to back and slip the next stitch purlwise, move yarn to the front; repeat from * to end of row.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 70", or desired length.
It makes a pretty dense scarf. With 26 stitches cast on, it's about 7" wide. With the same number of stitches, the shoulderette I initially did was about twice as wide.
Another project I'm working on simultaneously is a variation of the Hand/Wrist Warmers from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I also have several projects planned from 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders: A world of possibilities inspired by just one skein. I want this Christmas to be a handmade one.
I recently joined Ravelry so I will probably post some of my projects there, too. I hope to be able to make felted bags again soon. That will most likely take a while.
