Give Me Stripes

There is always room for one more stripy scarf or shawl.

Give them in thousands. Give them in colors. Give them to life. And knit them until there is no yarn left in the world.

Seems like I started on that task a while ago. Stripes, stripes and more stripes. I cannot get enough of them.

Some of my collection of color experiments - also called scarves

The more colored the better. I have no idea why stripe knitting is so much fun to me.

It just is. Stripes gives me the room I need to experiment with colors and even wear them after I have done it.

No swatch knitting, no wasted stitches on small patches to try something out.

Stripes is just what it is. Plain and simple. And yet they make a great statement and gives a color boost to anyone who wears them in bright colors.

Anyway, I just wanted to make another striped scarf and went for the ever returning pattern of mine, Lifelines.

I chose orange and red in wider stripes and turquoise and blue-green for smaller stripes. Really fun to knit. Just one more row. And another. And another.

I increased until 130 stitches and are now over half done. This is going to be a blessed easter. Where the stripes brighten up my days and keep my love for knitting just where it should be: In my heart.

A lot of stripes made into scarves just to see how the colors would look like together.
