I’ve just been gazing in adoration at your scarf, and something I read earlier this evening popped back into my head (too much time spent with google!). I think that the reason your p2tog tbl look a bit wonky on one side is that the wonky side should actually be a different decrease that is symmetrical with p2tog tbl. Since the slant of the knitting is different, a differently angled decrease is needed. Your technique for p2tog tbl is right, its just that the wonky bit isn’t seen on the other side because it falls nicely off the edge. I hope that made something approaching sense. The bad news is that I don’t know what that symmetrical decrease would be because I only started reading about it today. The good news is that it is most likely easier than the acrobatics I find myself doing for a p2tog tbl. I’m going to try a plain old k2tog and ssk on the right side and see how I go…..but I do fear there was a good reason for the p2tog tbl in the pattern……Ah, well, live and learn….

OMIGOSH I love your color combo — it’s deep and rich with just the RIGHT touch of brightness.

Well, I never would have put those two together, but the result is lovely. Shannon at Knit Me A River is working on one, too. Too bad I don’t have any Koigu in my stash. I’d probably try it. Baby socks for now:)

I’m really tempted to start one of these–I keep ogling everyone else’s! Your colorway is looking fantastic.

The scarf is beautiful and I have decided I have to jump on the bandwagon too.

Well, that’s plumb purty! Gives me Jaywalker flashbacks. I am not a scarf person. I have resisted so far, Ariann is chevron enough. DH pestered me until I read the article on Nikon lenses in the B’ham News today. I have several, just rarely use them. MY AF ones are slow. I use the D50 for closeup shots, and I have been in a macro mode lately.
