Finished... just in time
Just in time for the cold weather! (But I still look good, right?)
In a sea of knitting frustration... there is hope. Hope, I call thee "finished object." No weaving in, no little bits to sew... really, really done.
Project Details:
Pattern: "Midwest Moonlight," Scarf Style by Pam Allen
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed, 4 skeins
Needle Size: 6 Straights
Skills needed: knit, purl, yarn over, decrease
Pattern Modifications: None (although it might be a little longer than the pattern calls for -- I just knit until I ran out of yarn)
Time to knit: Approx. 2 months, very off-and-on
Final impressions: I really enjoyed knitting this pattern. It was interesting without being too difficult, so it was a relaxing knit. The yarn behaved very well, no knots or other surprises inside the skein. Also, it is very smooth and non-scratchy to wear.
I'll do an update at the end of scarf-wearing season to see how the yarn behaved after a season of wear.

Lovely and it warms my heart to see a finished project. I can't wait to hear how you like it in the spring.

Very pretty. It looks so delicate. I love the cloudy color as well. Great job. I can't imagine ever being able to make something like that. But i'll sure keep trying!
