Hope Scarf

[rebecca]

Hey Ya'll!
I want to share a new pattern that I have recently put online, http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/th_HopeScarf5wm3-08-08.jpg (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/HopeScarf5wm3-08-08.jpg)
Hope Scarf (http://whimsicalknittingdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/03/hope-scarf-pattern.html) that I designed and knit for our Julie (jberry) for Pay It Forward Exchange (http://whimsicalknitting.blogspot.com/2007/09/pay-it-forward.html) that we have been participating in!
I'm afraid it's not suitable for this time of year, but will be warm when it gets cold, LOL!
It's a fun, easy & quick knit with bulky yarn - good for anyone who is already getting started on holiday knitting!!http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/th_HopeScarf4wm3-08-08_lightened.jpg (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/HopeScarf4wm3-08-08_lightened.jpg) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/th_HopeScarf7wm3-08-08.jpg (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/watermarks/HopeScarf7wm3-08-08.jpg) (fyi, click on photo to enlarge it)

:yay: Very pretty!!

Love it! How does the reverse side look like?

[rebecca]

Thanks, ya'll are too sweet!
As for the reverse, I'm afraid I don't have a photo, it's pretty much like the reverse of any cable scarf, I guess, sorry. It you are asking if it's cabled on both sides, no, not this one, that's usually a cable/ribbing technique (as much as I know about cabling patterns, anyway) and I didn't do this scarf in that way.

Very pretty--made a copy and plan on using it when I get "caught up". Thanks for sharing.

[Pagan Princess]

Very nice, I'll be adding it to the list. Thanks.

[rebecca]

OH My, ya'll certainly know how to make a girl feel nice! You have made my day! Thanks so much for all of your kind words :)

[rebecca]

Again, thanks for all of your kind, sweet remarks, ya'll are just wonderful!
A friend asked me if I could make the scarf a bit wider, without adding anymore detail and a quick fix I just added a few more sts, anyway, the addendum is in the pattern which is found here (http://whimsicalknittingdesigns.blogspot.com/). This adds just a few sts and I've not knit it (Hope II), but I'm sure the look will be very similar. Anyway, I just wanted to let ya'll know in case anyone else had the same thought.

That is very nice! I like the single cable design, it makes it suitable for men or women! It's a keeper!
