And here's my "It's 80 degrees and I've got wool wrapped around my neck" picture.
The pattern is #8 Cabled Scarf by Elena Malo from the Holiday 2008 issue of vogue knitting. The yarn is Knit Picks Gloss DK 70% merino wool and 30% silk. The colorway is called Robot. It grew like mad when I blocked it. I knit the scarf to about 5 feet long but after washing it was over 6 feet. I like longer scarves anyway, but I'm glad I didn't make a sweater or something that needed to be fitted instead.
Overall I like it, but it's too hot to get that excited about a wool scarf. Also, it's not reversible so I have to pay attention to whether it's "right-side up."
Only 8 more projects on the needles.
