on the needles

I have begun my pal's scarf, finally, using Schaeffer Yarns Lola, a worsted-weight 100% merino wool, and the My So-Called Scarf pattern, knit on US7 bamboo straights. The pattern's multi-directional stitches are a nice way for a piece to show off a variegated yarn without falling victim to the evils of pooling and flashing. The colors of the yarn are a bit warmer than what you may see in the photo; they are quite autumnal. Very fitting for a fall scarf exchange! I could only get one skein so I hope the yardage will be enough to make a decently sized scarf. I have weighed what I already have knitted, and compared it with the total weight of the skein, and it looks like I could get forty-some inches of total scarfage!
