Wool of the Andes - WIP

I really love Knitpicks - Wool of the Andes. It is so nice to knit with and such beautiful colors. I have these 4 balls of Hyacinth, a deep deep bluish purple. It's gorgeous. Anywho, I haven't finished anything that I previously posted about. But I decided to try to come up with something cool for my WOTA yarn. Inspired by the Wavy pattern from Knitty, I decided to see what would happen if I would rotate two rows of 3. Like so...

Row 1 - knit 3, purl 3
Row 2 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Row 3 - purl 1, knit 2
Row 4 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Row 5 - purl 2, knit1
Row 6 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Row 7 - purl 3, knit3
Row 8 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Row 9 - knit 1, purl 2
Row 10 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Row 11 - knit 2, purl 1
Row 12 - knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches
Repeat 1 - 12 until it is long enough for you, end on Row 2.

This is what it looks like ...

I am knitting this one on size 5, straight needles. I think I casted on like 42 or 45 stitches. Either way it is divisible by 3.


I am making a scarf for me. It will be just for me. I will force myself not to give away. And I will absolutely finish it. I haven' made too many things for myself, as I believe I posted on before. But I think this is going to be the one. Just wanted to post about it. Hope all is well in the world of knitblogs, I haven't been checking lately.
