I am totally in love with this one, it was such a fun knit. It's long and cozy and the color is rich and jewel-toned...and I adore the pattern and how it makes scallops along the edges and the ends are scallop-y points! All without being too frilly or fancy.

And I love this one too, even though it was a total bore to knit. It's wide enough to be a wrap, but also light enough to be thrown around the neck like a big fluffy scarf. I tried several patterns, but none worked with the yarn~~either the pattern was lost in all the colors or the colors pooled horribly. So I finally cast on 50 stitches and knit the whole thing in garter stitch...which magically caused these beautiful stripes.

Gorgeous scarves! Thanks so much for the sock advice, Staci. I was on the right trail to a fix, and you helped me a lot.

I think Autumn is well and truly upon us. Garter stitch is a simple stitch but can give lovely results. I noticed recently that someone had devoted a book to it and was saying how sometimes the simplest of things give the nicest results.
I want to LIVE in that garter shawl when winter comes!
Gah! Gurrrl, you making me want to go cast on for a scarf project like right this second. These are so durn cute.
Actually, we ARE experiencing some nice fall weather. And thanks for the weather wishes, lol. You scarves are lovely. I too like the scallopy look of the first one!
