... is that I finished none of them. I started hating the striped one so I unraveled it and made a hat for my friend in New York out of the cream colored yarn. One of my partners kindly modeled it for me. You can't see it but I used the decreases used in the Half Dome hat which don't spiral. With this thicker yarn they weren't a total success but I still liked them.
As for the other scarves, I still think they were a great idea but I just ran out of time. And I'm thinking of frogging the ribbed one to make a slipped stitch pattern I like instead. The colors are a continuing exploration of bright colors with bright colors. I've always had a bit of color around but always paired it with something muted, usually black. An example of my new style is a hat I knit for myself using the same yarn as the unfinished Xmas scarves. The pattern is a K6P6 rib and I had to make it twice because the
first one was huge (I don't like tight hats and I have a big head but, come on, it looked like I was wearing a placemat balanced on my head).
