One down
I finished the first one of the pair and thus had to post a (blurry, and the yarn is a much darker red than it looks like) photo, but I’m inclined to pick that seam apart and have another go at it because I did not properly grok the mattress stitch.
It’s one repeat shorter than the pattern calls for—I didn’t really want something that would come halfway to my elbows, just something to keep my hands warm while I’m working at the ’puter. Single crochet cast-off because I have a fear of casting off the regular way (I remember what happened last time, and I didn’t have any needles that are a size or two bigger than these to keep it from happening again).
I downloaded the Irish hiker scarf pattern, too, and I think I’m going to make it with some more of this color. Red is my new favorite color.
