*mesha* (or other knitters)
ok i have to make an embarrassing confession... i stalk your blog because i have aspirations of being a knitter. as of yet i have only kitted plain straight scarves. i want to do the ruffle scarf that you did, but i need some advice (and i'm afraid). first of all, do you think as an admittedly novice/beginning level knitter i can pull it off. secondly, if i don't use that exact yarn but another chunky yarn will the pattern still work? i would think yes but i wanted to double check with someone who knows what they're doing

Re: *mesha* (or other knitters)
The ruffled scarf is a pretty simple pattern, I'm sure you can do it. The only things you need to know how to do are the knit stitch, slip a stitch (move it from one needle to the other without doing anything), knit 2 together and increase (I think I knit into the front and back). The most difficult bit was making sure I had enough yarn at the end to increase for the second ruffle (you have to double the number of stitches twice). I'm always paranoid about running out of yarn.
It should work fine with any other yarn, even if it's not chunky (but if you're using a finer yarn, you'd want to increase the number of stitches you have for the main part or it will be really thin). This particular scarf is really cute in chunky, though.
You should be fine. If you run into trouble, let me know.
Oh, and I'll update the blog tonight.
