The Right Kind of Needles

It's amazing the difference the right needles can make with a knitting project. The yarn for the City of Fountains Scarf is -- well, the scarf describes the yarn as shimmering -- is indeed a chatoyant blue. So the right kind of needles for that color of yarn is not a reflecting green, especially not at night.

The only size 6 needles I had were an aluminum green. Not totally unusable during the daylight,  but totally unsatisfactory at night. So off to Momo's on Delaware in Leavenworth. I had hoped for a light color plastic, but what she had were medium dark wood.

The pattern has three differing sections, the first a checkerboard, the second an Arches Lace Stitch, and the third a Droplet Lace Stitch. Make two identical strips and put them together with the Kitchener Stitch. After the "Cast On" parties, maybe we'll finish with Kitchener parties.
