get this! I started my morehouse merino variegated mini muffler and guess what happened? (Now remember, this project was meant to substitute for my failed pooling colors scarf.)
IT POOLED! All on its own. I cast on according to pattern (note, this pattern is written for solid color yarns and not for the variegated yarns), did two rows, and damn if it didn't just line up. COOOOL! posted by alison at 8:05 am | in

Very cool. I hope it will stay consistent all the way up the muffler. Posted by: claudia at October 25, 2004 9:02 AMlooks like you were destine to have a pooling scarf! Posted by: Kate at October 25, 2004 9:57 AMVery cool. I wonder what this means for those of us who bought the same yarn (on the same day) and were hoping that it didn't pool....probably time to readjust my expectations, yes? Posted by: Stephanie at October 25, 2004 10:35 AMWell, Stephanie, none of their sample garments had pooling like my scarf, so I'm sure I just found the "lucky" combination of gauge and stitch count. I used US5 needles and cast on 34 stitches. So for those wishing to pool this yarn or prevent this yarn from pooling, copy or avoid as necessary. ;0) Posted by: alison at October 25, 2004 10:55 AMWow, kismet! Very cool and a great colorway.
