It's the Irish Hiking Scarf from Hello Yarn.
The yarn is Paton Classic Merino Wool in Bright Red. Just under two skeins used.
I used size 7 straight needles for it as I do not have the size 8s that the pattern calls for and it was started well after all the shops were closed for the night.
It took ten days... off and on... give or take.
It was given a bath and rinsed until it stopped bleeding. It is currently air drying/blocking and stinking up the place like you would not believe.
o.0
It is just under six feet long and wide enough to keep Norma from yelling at me. She said at least five inches wide, ya know.
My cables go to the right and the pattern said go left. I am such a rebel.
It was mostly fun and I will do it again. Just not in red.
Oh, and this is scarf #2. The first one is resting quietly with some lace weight yarn and will be out for photos later on.
Don't ask.
No... really.
Looks Good! :D
You're a take no shit play by your own rules* kinda gal. I like that. *L*
*Well unless Norma says otherwise. :P
*pokeyhugs & runs*

Oh I like that a lot. I'm quite impressed cause I've never even tried cables and there you go having them all go in the same direction for a long long time. WTG

It looks simply wonderful. Now I will need to copy you and do a red cable scarf next...
I'm really not liking knitting with this bleh yarn...I am going to use up what I bought..maybe and then finding red yarn in the good stuff..I have become a yarn snob.

It's PERFECT and perfectly wonderful. Patons Classic bled? That was a shocker to me. Anyway, thank you for the LINK. And now I have NOTHING to yell about. Damnit. :)

No one reads your blog? I do. When I get time, that is. I love the red scarf. I have that pattern filed away-it's always been one I've wanted to knit. :)
