Here is the latest Red Scarf off the needles. I am calling it Cable Embrace because the zig zags seem to embrace the center cable and the name gives me the warm-fuzzies.
The free pattern is posted in the left side bar or you can click here.
I never got bored of this scarf and I bore easily. It is not a coincidence that I make a lot of small projects.
The yarn is a 100% Superwash wool called Bazic Wool from Classic Elite. It is a very nice heavy worsted weight yarn comprised of thick and thin singles plied together and then 3 of these plied again. The result is a springy yarn that has a bit of a twist to it when knit up. It is a delight to knit with, doesn't split, and makes a nice firm and wefty fabric. My only complaint is that it is a bit pricey.
A close-up you say? Why sure.
Errata:
Tami pointed out that the directions say cast on 35 sts when you really need to cast on 37 sts. Thank you for catching that Tami. A corrected version posted on 10/17/2006.
Holy cow, that's fabulous!!! I'm headed off to bed, but I'll get it in the blog and the gallery soon.

The scarves are just amazing! I've got yarn but still haven't started mine yet. :-( Soon though! Just have to get through a couple more socks first. :-)

This is a fantastic pattern. I love the stitches. It will definitely go on my winter knits list.
