OFO=Old Finished Object


This scarf, made in Spring, 2006, was inspired by the Rainbow Scarf pattern in Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It is 2 skeins of Noro Kureyon in contrastive colorways switching between skeins every 2 rows. I changed the stitch to one that was less yarn-thirsty. I also increased the number of stitches cast on. I wanted the scarf to be big enough for an adult. This is blocked. It is destined to be a present for Hanukkah or Christmas. I have 2 other skeins bought for the same purpose in more "manly" colors.
The scarf is posing on the rhubarb plant that grows in the alley next to the garage.

Nice, what non-yarn thirsty stitch pattern is that? The colors are great!

Kathy, do you know this Steve person? I of course had to click on the blog link and I can't decide if I'm amused or alarmed.

Yay! Jenny's back! Yes, I know him well. He happens to be a meat salesman which he fell into from being a very talented chef. Actually he has a degree in electronic engineering, but well, it goes that way sometimes. I'm afraid I inspired his blog, er, rather my blogging inspired him to blog.
