Small project #2 completed.
This is the wakefield scarf . I used 2 skeins of Claudia's Hand Painted Yarns in a fingering weight. Each skein was 175 yards. This colorway is called "eat your veggies".
After blocking, it forms a lovely parallelogram shape just as the pattern said it would.
It's going to look right smart with my in between seasons coat. Plus it's not too bulky to wear indoors with a jacket. I used a lifeline with this project after I ripped it out several times because I made mistakes I couldn't live with. Now that I know what I am doing though, I will definately make this pattern again.
It's beautiful! You just might get me to try knitting again. My grandfather tried to teach me but said I was a hopeless case! LOL

Wonderful colors. Is it still too warm for scarves there? I would have a hard time waiting to wear it.

I love your color choice. It matches perfectly with the green jacket. In case you are looking for another quick project (and don't mind snakes), here's one I came across on purlbee.com. I'm going to make one, and wear it as a scarf. Silly me!

I love the purl bee! And I know a couple of boys who might think its fun to try and trick their mom with a snake. Good idea.

Sheer perfection! Really a WOW pattern...where do you get your kitting instruction? Yarn Barn? I'm going to have to learn about life lines...they sound like a good thing.
