My New Scarf

So, work has still been kicking my butt. Between work and moving, we haven't been doing much travel or photography. We have assembled quite a bit of IKEA furniture, but that's been the extent of the projects.

The one thing that does fit into the craziness is knitting. As I had bought twice as much yarn as needed for Herr J's scarf, I decided to make one for myself.

Finally, scarf #2 is complete! I've made some good progress while on the train to Frankfurt the past couple of weeks.

I loved the colors in this wool, but didn't want to be the silly couple with the matching scarves. So I made a thinner, ribbed scarf with fringe. I hadn't realized it would be so narrow with the ribbing, so I made it long enough to wrap around twice.

I'm looking forward to wearing it with jeans and tall brown suede boots!

(For those of you who knit, it's a simple pattern: repeat K2, P2 8 times, then K1.  On next row, K1, then repeat P2, K2 8 times)
