As a yarnaholic, life can just be so tough sometimes.
See? Just so, incredibly,
dramatic! Because when you
hoard opportunistically buy yarn you don't have the foresight to know which yarns will totally and completely enrapture you. But, I can almost always guarantee it will be a yarn that will, after said enrapture, be discontinued and impossible to find. So thanks a lot, Red Heart Yarns for discontinuing their Fiesta line in Buff. Although the yarn fibers themselves are nothing super soft or spectacular, the colorway is awesome. Like a tweed, but better. It worked nicely for this Basketweave infinity scarf.
The first tutorials I tried didn't work out quite right because the side chains were too long so it didn't lay nice and flat and straight. That was easily fixed by decreasing the chain, as learned in
this tutorial from the New Stitch A Day website.
The texture makes it a perfect every day, unisex scarf. I can't wait to use this new stitch for other projects! Also, if you find Red Heart Fiesta in Buff for sale, please buy all the skeins.
