It only took about four months, but the Irish Hiking Scarf is finally finished. The stats:
Pattern: www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingcarf.htm
Yarn: Patons Classic Merino Wool in Deep Olive
Needles: Size 8 Denise
68″ long
I am very pleased with the way it came out. It really is very pretty, however, I doubt I’ll knit it again because the pattern got really boring. But Drew will love it and assuming he doesn’t peek on my blog today (he doesn’t usually read this), he’ll be very surprised when he gets home tonight.
Look at how happy I am that this freaking thing is done! Now I plan on doing a couple small, quick projects. I already have a lace dishcloth halfway done and I am determined to knit one of those damn One Skein cupcakes. I’ve tried three or four different times and because it’s such a small diameter, I keep twisting stitches and keep screwing up the rib, but they are so cute. Then, onto my shawl!
