I completed the scarf in time to give as a Christmas gift - it turned out to be good enough to give away, and I look forward to many more long scarves in my knitting future.
One of my new years resolutions was to use up, or at least make a dent in, my stash of yarn before buying any new projects. It only took me 30 days to break that resolution. I did make it through a trip to Phoenix without going to Knitting in Scottsdale, and I have finished a couple of baby gifts and am almost done with a scarf from yarn in my stash for a year and a half. A Knitted Together gift certificate was burning a hole in my pocket, though, and yesterday after yoga I took a crocheted scarf pattern from a favorite book and bought yarn for a multi-colored crocheted scarf (the donee picked the pattern). It is crochet on a very long chain for not a lot of rows, so is better suited to my personality than the long narrow back and forth of many scarves. This is going to be an "at home" project, as there are 7 different colors. I will work on socks, scarves and baby gifts (all from my favorite stash) in my upcoming travels.
This pattern is lovely!
