Noro Sock Yarn, Take One! *click!*
I thought this pattern would be perfect for a scarf for the Noro sock yarn. Those wavy little undulations you see are created by dropped yarnovers, and I thought the waving lines would break up the horizontal striping nicely. Probably would, too, if the stitch pattern worked with this yarn. Some yarns and patterns just don't play nice together.
It's hard to see in this picture, but the dropped yarnovers are distorting terribly. Some of the stitches next to the yarnovers are growing to as much as double the size they should be. And the garter ridges between the waves are distorting, too, as a result of these odd, outsized stitches mixed in.
I'm not fooling around with it. I can see a disaster in the making, and I know how to respond. Rip-it! This is coming off the needles and will be reknit in a less lacy stitch pattern, something that will create some zigzagging or other vertical interest without giving me gray hair in the process.
