Let me first say that taking pictures of myself is not exactly my favorite activity. I tried over and over to get a good shot of the scarf on but
this is the best I could do. Fiddling with self timers and mirrors is not my strong suite. Washed out and faceless was the best of the bunch - not exactly blog worthy.
Despite the lack of good action shot I'm really happy with the finished scarf. It's light, airy and warm enough to be great when you need a little something extra come fall. I'm keeping this for now but it might end up in the gift pile not because I don't like it but because it might not get enough wear up here.
The pattern is simple to memorize and keep track of so it was great for dragging around with me in my bag. The yarn qualifies as earthy and I'd been wanting to cast on since I saw
Meg's version earlier in the spring. It's just over two meters long which makes it long enough to wrap a few times around my neck.
Once I had it finished it was fun trying to block it on my bed, I had to pin it over the sides it's so long. This might be a sign that I need to invest in blocking boards but I'm going to ignore it for a while longer. The fingering weight yarn dried in only a few hours with just the breeze from the storm coming through the window.
Just in case...
