now this I love
pattern: Ishbel by ysolda, scarf size
yarn: yarntini sock in merlot
needles: addi turbos 4mm
date started: 02.15.09
date finished: 02.17.09
after finishing the as-yet-to-be-blogged dreaded project, I needed a little pick me up in my knitting life. chatting it up with joelene led me to totally copy her and cast on for ishbel. I immediately thought of some yarntini I've had in the stash for a couple of years now but could never find the right pattern for. I'm a little too protective with my yarntini stash I guess, but with a color like this wouldn't you be too?
this little scarf just flew off the needles and now it has me jonesing for some more shawl/scarves. I think I finally found the perfect scarf pattern for me: it isn't a huge shawl so the end is always in sight, it isn't one long rectangle that just goes on and on, and it's so light that it's almost season-less. oh, and the best part, no bulk under your coat. just throw it nonchalantly over your shoulders and you're ready to go.

oh, that colour is great on you.

Oh, it looks wonderful! I've got some sock yarn from the Knittery in a very similar colour (also named Merlot, in fact!) and now I'm very tempted to make its fate an Ishbel.... Beautiful work :)

I have yet to make a triangular scarf, but I'm always admiring them, and this one is no exception! You finished that project quickly.
