My first Braided Mischief

This braided mischief is special because I just learned how to cable-knit. I wanted to work on the reversable cable scarf, but it never turned out. Instead I decided to try this, which was much easier to follow. It almost knits itself. I am using size 10 needles and Wool of the Andes by KnitPicks. . I will post again when it's all done. I am not crazy about the color, so I may need to start a new one. :)

Braided Mischief

Hi Lorena, do you remember me from your trip to Glasgow? Lady Eleanor is certainly looking good.

Here's my latest offering from Scarf Style - it's my version of Braided Mischief by Teva Durham. Rather than doing it in double strands of Felted Tweed, is it? I did it in one strand of Debbie Bliss Maya 100% wool, which I got for a reduced price from getknitted because it's discontinued. Added later- shade no. 14 I think.
I used 6 1/2 mm needles and three hanks. The scarf is pretty long, but I wanted to use up the yarn. It's really warm because of the yarn itself and the basketweave effect cable.


In the original pattern you are supposed to use a self-colour for most of it then occasionally use a tonic colour- I decided the variegated yarn had enough interest. This is a present for my husband as he really liked the last scarf I made him in the same wool.
I have recently got hold of Wrap Style. I definitely think Evelyn Clark's Shetland Triangle will be on the cards before too long.
