Thanks for the lace stitch pattern. I knit scarves for kids for the Red Scarf Project & this will be a good one to use. I should have been more specific about which scarf... on the garter stitch swatch, how did you get the opposite color just every other stitch (or so it seems) in the middle of the 3rd row? Any time I do a slipped stitch, that color runs up the entire piece, kinda like a stripe.
I love your idea for a scarf. That swatch is gorgeous! Next time I'm at my local library, I'll have to ask them if they take in yarn for projects. They do a lot of stuff around gardening (giving away seeds and loaning out tools), but I haven't seen anything (yet) in terms of a "Makers Space." Maybe they'll create one if they know they have yarn coming their way :-)
The Maker Space in my local library branch has a laser cutter, 3-D printer, Cricut machine, sewing machine, embroidery machine, and heat press. You can make a reservation to use any of the machines. They put on all sorts of workshops for teens and adults, including knitting, crochet, and stitching. It's a wonderful resource.
It's a branch of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. Not every branch has a MakerSpace, and some that do have different sorts of tools and equipment
That red is breathtaking. Great review as always!
Thanks, Kavitha!
A little beyond my yarn budget but I do like that red. Are you able to share where I can see the pattern you're using?
It's such a good red!
Here is the pattern for that lace stitch:
Multiple of 6 sts + 3, worked flat
Row 1 (RS): K1, *p1, k5; rep from * to last 2 sts, p1, k1.
Row 2 (WS): P1, *k1, p5; rep from * to last 2 sts, k1, p1.
Row 3: K1, *p1, k1, yo, sssk, yo, k1; rep from * to last 2 sts, p1, k1.
Row 4: Rep Row 2.
Row 5: K1, *p1, k2, yo, ssk, k1; rep from * to last 2 sts, p1, k1.

Here is the pattern for the garter stitch and slip stitch swatch:
Over an odd number of sts -
With color A, knit 4 rows.
Next row (RS): With color B, k1, *sl1 wyib, k1; rep from. * to end.
Next row (WS): With color B, k1,*sl 1 wyif, k1; rep from * to end.
With color A, knit 4 rows.
With color B, knit 4 rows.
Next row (RS): With color A, k1, *sl1 wyib, k1; rep from. * to end.
Next row (WS): With color A, k1,*sl 1 wyif, k1; rep from * to end.
With color B, knit 4 rows.
Repeat these 20 rows for pattern.
Thanks so much, Sandi. I can't wait to knit this.
Enjoy!
