Plus I&#8217;m starving and in no shape to think of more witty names.  I think it looks a little rainbow fishy, but I&#8217;m sticking with Coconut Streamers, dammit!<\/p>\n<p>This was 95 stitches, cast onto a 32&#8243; circular #15 needle.  When you&#8217;re doing scarves lengthwise, a loose cast on and bind off is absolutely crucial, so this was a cable cast on, knit for 13 or 14 rows, then a suspended bind off.  That type of cast on and bind off gives a more elastic edge.<\/p>\n<p> I may do another version of this scarf using Eros or Mosaix FX instead of Streamers for even more glitz.  I figure that&#8217;ll catch some party girl&#8217;s eye at Simucon.  \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But not in a smutty way. Ahem.
