just interesting

Sometimes I'm fascinated by a yarn or a pattern just for the sake of it. Like this drop stitch pattern, made up by dropped stitches and plenty of triple yarn overs producing an interesting square pattern. A beautiful variegated Noro yarn is just interesting enough with this otherwise dull knitting pattern. Honestly it wasn't all enjoyful knitting. Also still trying to convince my husband that it's a really cool mens scarf in it's beige-greyness.

Now that it's off my hands [read more about the project on Ravelry], I can finally start planning that hand knit pullover - I'm thinking one of these awesome patterns a | b | c - for my smallest.
