In the crochet version, in the instructions, there is no Row 2 noted.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's the opposite of Row 1, but can you confirm?
Thanks a bunch! I love all your patterns and your yarn, too!

All fixed. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOn the knitted version, what did you do with all those ends. Did you weave them in later, or did you do some knit weave as you go method?
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to get these instructions but also need a hint/suggestion for all those ends, they are a nightmare with so many, any suggestions, did u just tie & weave in? thank you
ReplyDeleteIf someone were to buy one skein of each color and make the pattern as pictured (multi-colored), how many scarfs could be made from those 21 skeins?
ReplyDelete10(ish) :)
ReplyDeletePerfect! Thanks!
