"You typically cannot carry yarn when you are sewing panels together or using the intarsia method to create designs in projects, carrying the yarn up will make the seams too bulky and can alter the look of the blanket entirely while making it almost impossible to put the panels together properly. I typically suggest to my students that they darn as they go, even if they don't do all the darning doing at least some of it makes the task a little less daunting."

"Do you still have the original scarf? I am assuming that when you say "look knitted on both sides" you mean the V looking stitch. There is no way to get that with just knitting back and forth, but there are a few different ways to achieve that look. You can knit a rib scarf, K1 P1 on the right side and then P1 K1 on the wrong side it will look knitted on both sides until you stretch it apart. Another option is the way my mom always made scarves that was to make a 'tube' by knitting in the round. There is also 'Double Knitting' that makes things double thick but achieves the V stitch on both sides. But here is my last thought, can it possibly be that your Mom actually crocheted the scarf using what I know as the Waistcoat stitch? This particular stitch looks like the knitted V on both sides when it's done correctly and I have some items done with this technique from my Great Aunt that she had learned from her Great Aunt so I know that stitch has definitely been around for more than 100 years. I hope this helps."

"I made a dozen of these in different colors as bridal party favors for my daughter's wedding. By using lobster-claw clasps at the ends, I attached two cords to each bag - short for a wristlet and long for a crossbody. They were a big hit"

"Sorry, can't agree with anything you've stated here. The knitting needle size used will be dependent upon obtaining gauge, not what area of the world you live in. The short row shaping is definitely part of the pattern and is not divisible by anything, each row in short row shaping is typically different, that is the point of it, you will not have to add anything to it at all, if the pattern is followed specifically line by line, all will be well."

"I think this should be done on a US 6 needle, not 8. 8 maybe in Europe. And it would have been helpful if you had said that row 23 was not part of the pattern. That really threw me off for a while. The pattern for the short rows is in multiples of 8. Add 8 to each row, knit or pearl. Makes a lovely shawl."

Upon arrival I see a beautifully packaged skein of yarn in a cream-colored sheer bag with a ribbon pull string. I can tell the yarn is going to be just as beautiful, but I didn't even want to take it out of the bag. I quickly got over that and pulled out the skein of James C. Brett Marble Chunky Yarn and Oh, My! This yarn is super soft to the touch and makes me want to just roll around in it. The first thing that came to mind while squishing it was a big, bulky sweater. This yarn is perfect for those cold winter months.


James C. Brett Marble Chunky Yarn is 200g of 100% acrylic. It is machine washable, but clearly states you should not use chlorine bleach. This yarn that caught my eye is in a stunning green and blue variegated color that reminds me of the ocean, combined with a waterfall and forest. It comes in other variegated colors like burnt orange and teal, different shades of pink, purple and gray, and multi-color, just to name a few. This yarn knits to most chunky patterns and is really easy to work with.


There are so many possibilities and knitting patterns you can make with this chunky yarn. From hats and scarves, to blankets and sweaters, you will easily find something that pleases you. This yarn will keep you warm and cozy all winter long. Best of all, the chunkiness is great for those just learning how to knit; this is a great beginner yarn.

I have to make a comment about this yarn! I've been using it for crochet patterns for 3 years and it is FABULOUS! You won't regret using it for crocheting. My concern is for those who knit, since I have seen swatches on display in my local store and honestly, WOULD NOT BUY THIS YARN if my work turned out like their knitted examples. WHY? This is a Z-twist yarn which is great for crochet as opposed to S-twist which is great for knitting. Something happens to yarn when you knit with Z and crochet with S. I didn't KNOW that until I first crocheted with Z twist. I have crocheted the same item with both yarn types, and the results are truly different. I haven't knitted years, so I haven't done that test. I would be interested in knowing what others have experienced knitting and crocheting this particular yarn. I really would like to see someone post online comparisons!
