The Mistake
Why?
Because *K2P2* repeat to last stitch, K1
is so much less boring than a K2P2 simple rib.
Repeat this row until you run out of the skein, then join a new skein that is similar but not the same.
Why?
Because it is much too hard for me to select three skeins of matching yarn, even when I'm trying to.

Yarn: Hopyards Spinnery Yarn by Bessie hand dyed merino, worsted weight
I started with the last 1/3 of a started skein, used all of a second, ending with a bit of a third. Even the long stretch in the middle of one skein shifted colors enough that this is all over the place.
When I popped into the prestigious corporate restroom on location to check my All-Put-Togetherness, my eyes traveled downward. Scarf? looking fine. Lush, handmade,wintery, no problem. It sits on my charcoal wool jacket and olive green sweater. OK. Presentable. I look a little lower. uhhh. Seems when I got dressed at Dark O'clock AM, the dressy charcoal pants I thought I'd put on were actually an old pair of black pants with a worn knee. wah-wah. Funny how one can slide from reasonably confident to wishing one could hide behind a counter in a sweep of the eyeballs.
As for the scarf's range of colors making me happy ? Another case of local color.

I'll bet no one even noticed your worn knee because they couldn't take their eyes off your wonderful scarf. Very clever, that.
I love it. Great colors.
Your scarf is wonderful! You see, I would TRY to do that on PURPOSE. It is kind of a serendipity.
it looks great in all those colors. it looks even better on, I am sure, wrapped around the neck. these are addictive!
:-)
That scarf is spectacular... inspirational actually. Great choice of mismatched colors. I love it. No worry about your pants. They were too busy admiring your scarf.
I think the mismatch of the yarn makes this an unusally beautiful scarf. Hopefully everyone was admiring your scarf so much that your worn knees went unnoticed!
I think everyone is going to want to duplicate this scarf. You may have just started something here.
Glad to hear that I am not the only one to do such things. But the scarf is way cute. And I really like the local color pics.
The tragedy of Reduced Pants Awareness! Scarf is nice and why wouldn't a photographer have busted-out knees, anyway? Probably added to your street cred.
Love the scarf - I knew it would turn out fabulous!
The other pics are amazing as well, gives me inspiration.
Take care.
