Knitting

[nekosensei]

So...I'm knitting a scarf for a friend, and I'm not quite sure if this is going to work.

For one, I have only one ball of this yarn. I got it in Chinatown, so I'm not sure if I can really order it online anywhere.

This is what I've knitted so far. It still looks a bit wide to me at 34 stitches across, so I'm thinking of ripping it out and knitting only 30. I'm also thinking of buying white yarn and interspersing the white and the mult-colored one. I take it that the white yarn has to be pretty much the same size and texture? I know there's a couple of knitters on my friends' list. Any advice?

Yep...I have no clue what I'm doing...

Drop stitch? Do you have a link with instructions, picture, or video that you could point me to?

Rows 1-4: Knit across

Row 5: *Knit 1, yarn over, rep from *, knit one.

Row 6: Knit the knit stitches, drop the YOs from the needle.

It's an interesting thing to do with textured yarns -- you could try it and see how you like it.

You can increase the number of yarn overs, too.

Here (http://mnsfibers.livejournal.com/49044.html) is an example of a similar pattern.
