Finished projects pt II: Sunset Scarf

One of the most beautiful things I've ever made. (And took one night as opposed to 3-6 weeks)

Finished projects pt I: Noro Plaid

I'm slowly whittling away at all the stuff I've started over recent weeks... Beginning with the Noro plaid scarf.
Meh.

I love the colors (as I always do with Noro). The overall effect of the pattern is great. I think the problem for me was in the numbers. Following the directions as given produced a scarf about 2 feet shorter than I prefer. I like my stuff LONG. If I had it to do over again, I would make it skinnier and longer. I really hope I will grow to tolerate it. It was way too much work for it to go unworn.

fan-trellis stitch

I picked up a skein of Araucania Ranco in Denim over the weekend and, against my better judgement, started working with out a pattern... sort of. I'm working a stitch called the Fan-Trellis stitch in long rows-- another scarf I guess. Now, after 5 rows, I'm flipping it over to work 5 more off the other side of the foundation chain. I may do some kind of trim on the ends but I guess it will depend on how I feel about the finished effect and how much yarn I have left. Really happy so far though and I've picked up a new stitch along the way.
