Think It Through

When I have a decision to make and need to think something through, I reach for my knitting. I need something relatively simple, like this lace pattern, so that my hands can work the stitches but my brain can wander, pondering pros and cons of different options. After thousands of stitches I come to a decision–and end up with a lovely scarf to boot.

Think it Through is designed to show off a six-color gradient set, with simple garter ridges separating colors. Every other row of the 10-stitch, 8-row lace repeat is a rest row, and after several repeats the lace pattern becomes intuitive, making this a great project to pick up when your mind is a bit distracted.
