playing with yarn in the middle of the night

Irish hiking scarf

It took about a month, but I finished the Irish hiking scarf. It’s all soft and cozy-like. Caron SS in autumn red.

Now, I am having a pretty awful tooth problem and as such am all hopped up on painkillers (and on a liquid diet which means the painkillers are making me particularly fuzzity) so I am in no shape to be making linked thumbnails to the gallery. So here’s a close-up shot:

I did upload a photo of the whole scarf to the gallery. I think I put it in the crochet section, though.

I’m all proud of myself. This is the biggest thing I’ve ever knit, and I think it looks pretty decent. The cables have a few issues, you can probably see in the photo, but they got steadily better as I went along. I was able to fix mistakes I made without frogging everything, and I feel a lot more confident about my ability to knit now.

That is all for today. I feel very fuzzy.

Too funny, I have that exact yarn in stash and I’d just stuck it in the unaccompanied baggage with plans to make this very scarf!
