So, do you remember that silk/wool boucle yarn I bought? This is what it looked like after I deviated 'slightly' from the suggested pattern.
The yarn store I bought it from said to do it in a simple garter stitch but I decided to knit it on large needles 17 (the zen master knitter suggested 10 1/2). I added a crochet border. It didn't look too nice. I frogged it.I've been trying many different ideas some lace stitches too but the boucle is so busy I'm wondering if I should just do a simple stockinette stitch on the 17 needles and leave it at that. Anyways, this is a drop stitch I tried. This was suggested by Kristine at Modern Yarn when I visited there last week. What do you think?
Still wondering...
The truth is, boucle and I don't really get along. I keep buying it because I love the way it looks just so but I've never really been happy with it finished. I always end up frogging it and everyone knows you can't frog boucle too easily...

I love the dropped stitch. It adds some interest to plain old stockinette stitch.
I like the drop stitch too! I'd stick to that...though that is a trial a bit too....the yarn looks lovely done that way though!
i like the drop stitch, but whenever i think about using that stitch i worry that the holes will catch on things.
you could also cast on the long way and do garter stitch - boucle looks good in that kind of scarf.
the drop stitch you have pictured looks nice! I had given my Aunt some boucle. Beacuse I could not figure out what to do with it. When she passed away I got here unfinished Baby afghan. It was garter stitched, YOu know the granny favorite dish cloth only 36" long on a side. You could make a wrap or a shaw, starting it that way. I think you have a lot of choices. =-)
