So I sent Joe outside in his jacket to model a finished object!
It started out as this
That’s the yarn with the parka I’m hoping will wear it with. Pretty damn close match, huh?
I started it on Christmas and finished knitting and blocking it on New Years Day.
I fringed it last night at Hurricane Knitters. Since I didn’t have anything on the needles. At all. Really. (that is no longer true, btw)
Pattern: Year 1-2 House Scarf from Charmed Knits
Yarn: Cascade 220. Two skeins each in 9487 (Puget Sound/blue/from Natural Stitches) and 8412 (Pear/gold/from Bloomin Yarns)
Needles: US 8 16” KA circs. Still lovin’ these needles, even though they got put away weird at some point and the cable needs to be steamed back into shape
Started: 25 Dec 2007
Finished: 1 Jan 2008
Mods: I finally got smart and did two things with this scarf (my third of this ilk): 1. I wove in all of the ends as I knitted. 2. The stockingette edge was curling on itself as I started and I decided to encourage this behavior, as seen in last week’s WiP Wednesday post. Made it much easier to wrangle, although once I got to the halfway point, I could roll it no farther. It still was easier to twist/untwist the thing this way.
Destination: It's a birthday gift (Jan 2 b-day) for the head coach I worked with last year at UCLA. My goal in life is to make it to the post office tomorrow to get it on its way to LA.
I have two more FOs ready to post. One has had its photo shoot, the other has not. I'll be back!

Another lovely tube scarf! The colors are even nicer in person.
I can't believe, by the way, that you didn't have anything on the needles. That NEVER happens to me. EVER. It's something I aspire to.
Very nice scarf, and I'm sure it will be well appreciated--we have a Severe Weather Alert here and it's going to be cold (by SoCal standards--49!) this week. I'll have to be sure to send Dim Sum Mary over here to see--she and her Sweetie Husband are Bruins!
Damn girl. That's fast as hell for a long tube scarf! It looks GREAT!
