This one felt like it might have gone on forever... but I'm soo very glad I plugged along because the end result is pretty.
Joe was joking that maybe Carmen wouldn't like it, and that I should keep it. Tempting as that sounds, it is going out in the mail this weekend to my dear friend.
Now I wonder how she'll feel about my handsome fella getting in a few model shots? Lovely scarf plus a few random dog hairs? Aah she knows me well enough, she'd probably expect nothing less.
So, the details:
- Pattern: 'Here and There Cables' by the incredibly talented Norah Gaughan (from the book 'scarf STYLE, Interweave Knits')
- Yarn: Red Rocks Fiber Works 'Paradise' (yes it is true to it's name) in colourway 'Green Grass'
- Mods: None really to speak of... I used a US 6 needle (instead of a 7) as that worked better with the thickness of the yarn. Pattern calls for you to knit for 72inches. I just carried on until I ran out of yarn - ending up at 64 inches long by 6.5 inches wide (after blocking).
It feels good when the effort invested was worth it!

This is just gorgeous. So much prettier than in the book.
Sam! It's absolutely beautiful...and totally worth the wait. Mine is moving along at a great clip now...using size 3 needles and the Handmaiden Camelspin - veeerrryy soft! I promise pictures when it's done.
Pretty is an understatement. It's fabulous! And that shawl pin is perfect.
Hmm! Nice scarf tied around the neck!
