Pattern: Wavy Scarf from Knitty
Yarn: Cascade 220 colour# 4009
Needles: 4mm
Completed: 4 repeats of 10
So pretty. It's remarkable what knits and purls executed in a particular order can do. This is my first time with Cascade yarn and I like it very much. I haven't often worked with 100% wool in the past.
My one problem is that the pattern calls for 2 skeins of yarn and 10 repeats of the pattern. It has become obvious that 2 skeins will do only 9 repeats. Now, I must decide if I buy more yarn or settle for a shorter scarf.
I absolutely adore this colour. I've tried to photograph it but really, the camera does not do it justice. It's actually a combination of different flecks of blues and green. Lovely as can be.

Your scarf looks fantastic. Makes me want to knit it...
I'd probably go for a shorter scarf so that I wouldn't get stuck with most of a skein left...unless you want to knit a coordinating hat or mitts.
Good luck with the rest of the Games!
I've looked at that scarf on Knitty many times and it always fascinates me. Looks great!
Parcel has been mailed, watch for postal delivery in the next week.
How's that scarf coming along?
