16u Rack

[Azalee Freas]

Wrackand rack are etymologically distinct, meaning they come from different words. Many usage guides will advise that you should use wrack for meanings such as "to utterly ruin," and rack for "to cause to suffer torture, pain, anguish, or ruin." If you follow this advice, the proper choice for what you do to your brain when thinking very hard is rack. However, wrack has long been used as a variant of rack, and numerous fine writers have avowedly wracked their brains or found something nerve-wracking.

Some guides feel that "racked with pain" is the preferable choice, although wrack is in many cases an acceptable variant. The verbs are often conflated despite their very different origins (the former from Middle Dutch rekken, meaning "to stretch," and the latter from the Middle English word for shipwreck, wrak).

While there are a number of settings in which wrack is considered an acceptable variant of rack, the accumulation of debts is not one of them. In this context rack up typically means "to achieve, score; to accumulate."

The Netgate 4100/6100 family of appliances are passively cooled to ensure silent operation when used in a desktop or rack mount configuration. This is a purpose-built rack mount system designed and manufactured specifically to:

I've been hoping for this for awhile, and the lack of it was honestly the reason I held off buying the 6100 in the first place (might have been able to get it before it went unavailable in Q1). You will probably want this (or the wall mount?) so that you have proper screws (it's a pretty long way into the box), even if you decide to do it yourself. It looks pretty smart in the rack and is definitely a nice sturdy mount -- there won't be any plastic droop here! Blue might seem an odd choice, but I think it looks nice (though I'm glad I went with the dark wood rack, and not the lighter shades). I'll probably keep the modem between the gateway and the "TOR" switch for heat management purposes.

Downsides -- no fan (well, no room) and there aren't any light tubes for the "front" lights. I wasn't expecting them, and if you've looked at the pics, neither should you. Status lights are more important for the modem than the firewall anyway. Oh, and make sure you have a torx/star driver.

We knit up a new version of our Rick Rack Scarf in our very own 100% merino Worsted Twist. Still totally soft and beautiful, Worsted Twist makes a classic Rick Rack Scarf, and in the color Copper Penny, it also makes a rich and complex statement.

Perfect. I like scarves for things like Special Olympics and the Red Scarf Project and am always on the lookout for reversible ones that look good too. You hit the spot perfectly. Thank you for sharing!

Blue Sky's Worsted: -Blue-Sky-Worsted This is a super soft, totally gorgeous alpaca/merino blend with great stitch definition. I would maybe use a US #10 needle for this one, , depending on your tension and taste!

Using some leftover Rowan wool in burgundy. Wonderful pattern. Makes a nice, dense fabric good for keeping the neck warm. Thanks again, Whit, for a great story and a great pattern. I've posted a picture of the scarf in progress at my own blog

I really love the look of this scarf, and it looks so easy, but I am finding myself completely baffled. After knitting into the second stitch, I am finding it completely impossible to leave it on the needle, bring the needle to the front, and knit the first stitch. Is there something I'm missing? Are my cast-on stitches too tight? I'm not a beginner, per se, but I don't have many advanced techniques. Is there any way you could clarify this for me? Thanks!

i love the stitch, but just can't seem to understand hows its done. after you insert your right needle into the back of the second stitch on the left needle, it says to knit the stitch, but also keep it on the left needle. how would you complete the knit stitch without it going to the right needle?

thanks

Thank you so much for this pattern. I love to do scarves, in between other projects and for gifts. And I love having a new pattern to try. Can't wait.

Purl Bee/Purl Soho just can't be beat. I love everything you do! You are wonderful!!

Do your cast on stitches slide easily up and down your needle? If not, your knitting may be a little tight, and you may want either to cast on more loosely or to knit the first row and start the pattern on the second row.

Sorry to hear about your confusion! Did you happen to read Jenn's response to your comment? I think she very helpfully addresses what may be the problem by clarifying that, yes, you do have a new stitch on your right needle, but you also left the old stitch on the left needle. So really, the stitch is half way complete.

Hello again, I am having trouble starting this wonderful project for two reasons, and wanted to ask for help if that's ok:

1. When stitches fall off for whatever reason, is there a way to recover them with a stitch pattern like this (I am a beginning, and understand this concept only for regular stitches, not when the stitch is skipped, etc, as it is here).

2. My ric rac is not as nicely defined (more like a raised center area than a zig zag), so I wonder if this has to do with my bringing the yarn to the front/back along with the right needle?

So far, I've made it to about 6 inches a few times, and it looked great (albeit a bit different), but I keep having to start again because I eventually lose a stitch.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

On the page for the Mongolian Cashmere, it states that the gauge for the yarn is 4.5 stitches to an inch and the pattern states it is 6.5 stitches to an inch, both using #8 knitting needles. Which one is correct? Thanks.

I am planning on knitting this for my little sister and was thinking of using Madeline Tosh Tosh Merino. Would this yarn work as a substitute? Should I use a size 9 or 10 needle? Thanks so much for taking the time to post.

If, however, you mean that you actually knit from left to right, that would be a rarer thing. If you have learned to adjust patterns for your specific way of knitting by reversing the right and wrong side instructions, then you can go ahead and do that.

Yes! The Tosh Merino would be a great substitute. Exactly which needle you should use depends on how tightly or loosely you knit, and also on how you want the stitch to look. If you're an average knitter, my best guess would be a US #8 or #9 needle.

Thank you for this beautiful pattern.

One question though, does the finished scarf curl? This will be a third attempt of knitting a scarf for my husband this winter, and I've had a terrible luck picking patterns! I don't think the yarn can take any more ripping and re-doing and neither can I. ?

Thanks!

Yes you could make the ribs horizontal by casting on the length of the scarf onto very long circular needles. If you're working with 4 skeins you could cast on 349 stitches and then just work the rib pattern as written in the patten.

I knitted this scarf for my father-in-laws birthday present. He loves it and always wears it. My advice to people struggling with the pattern- hang in there! It was really tight for the first few rows but after that things loosened up and I got quite speedy at it. It doesn't knit up quickly but the end product is worth the effort. I used a 4ply 50% merino, 40% alcpaca 10% silk wool which was beautifully soft.

And also, I made a swatch of ric rac, but when I cast off, the cast off edge was much longer than the width of scarf. Its hard to explain but I hope im making it clear enough. The only way I know how to explain it is that the cast off doubled the width off the edge of the scarf. Help me please! Thank you, and the site is lovely!!

This an awesome stitch, something different. I've figured out it's easier with a loose tension! It's much easier to separate the yarn if you aren't holding it to tight. Thank you for sharing your instructions!! Have you done anything else besides a scarf with this stitch? It seems that with the layering effect it would make for excellent dishcloths or a baby's blanket maybe. I've enjoyed checking out your other projects as well, I love the owl. Very cute.

Thank you for this beautiful pattern. The only problem I am having is correcting errors I make when I knit past the time I am too sleepy to knit! I cannot figure out a way to unknit, so I can correct an error a couple of inches back on my needle. Any suggestions ? Thanks

It is, of course, possible to unknit stitch by stitch, but I'm not sure it's possible to explain it in writing! One thing to look out for is that many of the stitches are out of order, meaning that the second stitch may be third on the needle (for example).

This scarf is made from a very special yarn so it is a bit of a splurge. However we are always happy to recommend less expensive (but still beautiful!) options! This project will work with any worsted weight yarn. Below are some ideas:

3 Skeins of Purlsoho's Worsted Twist -Purl-Soho-Worsted-Twist Our exclusive 100% Merino is soft and smooth. The color "Sea Salt" would be a great substitution for the cashmere yarn we originally used.

Thank you for the comment! You could absolutely do this project with stripes or color blocks! If you want to work the stitch pattern in two colors (like a two color brioche) I would recommend trying it out! The only thing to keep in mind is to do the project on circular needles so you are able to access both sides of the project, which most two color stitch patterns require.

I hope this helps and I would love to hear about what you come up with!
