Scarf Island

Perhaps you've heard of it. It's quite close to Sleeve Island, in fact, the same people get marooned there too.

Reversible Cable Scarf This pattern came courtesy of Vogue's American Collection. My version of Lily Chin's Reversible Stole has 136 less stitches, narrower cables, and tweed yarn. I knit about 16 inches going to and coming back from climbing this weekend, about six hours in the car. BF complained about my left needle poking his arm. Gotta learn to use circulars!

Moonstone Lace Scarf This is coming along nicely (needs blocking, though). I finally decided to use an oldie but goodie, the Feather and Fan pattern. This is an easy knit. The yarn is thick and thin but maintains an overall worsted weight. I wish I bought another skein of this particular colorway, the colors are very yummy!

Kidsilk Haze Stole Well, technically not a scarf, but it's long. So there. Here's the first 3 inches of the stole. It's like knitting with spiderwebs on big #9 needles! The halo makes it soft and fluffy, and when I put it away I basically scrunch it up on the needle and stuff it in a baggie. It's terrifically light. Having said all that, I may frog it (horrors!) because my cast-on row is too tight: I used a long tail cast on and I must have had a bad day when I did it. I'll try a simple cast-on next. Wish me luck on frogging!
