"As some of you know...I'm knitting the Dr. Who Scarf to give as a Christmas present. This video shows how to change colors on the Dr. Who Scarf on a Decor Accents EFG Wonder Sock loom. This method makes it so that there is no need to weave in tails later. It should be useful to those making scarves on single-sided rakes or those making flat panels on a round loom.
Yarn Info:
Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Superwash Sport:
Grey Heather - 2 skeins
Japanese Plum - 2 skeins
Pecan Toffee - 1 skein
Oats 'N Cream - 2 skeins
Red Baron - 2 skeins
Wild Honey - 1 skein
Cactus - 2 skeins
Pattern: http://wittylittleknitter.com/chapter-12/ "
Important comments that came up on the original posting:
-I think I doubled the knitting pattern, after making a swatch, on the loom.
-The stitch is a garter stitch. (Knit one row, purl one row, etc.)
-I used really, really, long tails to make the transitions.
-Since I was in a hurry to finish up, I stopped the scarf around 12 feet. (Somewhere around the Seasons 13/14 stopping point.)
The place where I bought my yarn has closed, but this yarn is still on the market elsewhere.
