I'm knitting this scarf for my dad. I made him a matching hat for this past Christmas, but I didn't get the scarf done (or really started), and I already missed his birthday, too. I'd like to have all of these scarves done for next Christmas. I'm using US 9 needles (5.5mm). The is worked on multiples of 18 plus 1, and I'm working with 36 plus 1. And I promise to take a better picture of this soon. You can kind of see the pattern, though.
If you happened to notice the picture of this scarf yesterday, you'll notice that it's a little different today. And not in an I've-completed-more-of-it way, but in an I-ripped-the-whole-stupid-thing-apart-(not that that was very much really)-and-started-over-again-only-now-it's-twice-as-wide way. This was the scarf yesterday:
and at the top is it today. I decided that it was too thin (only about three inches) for a man, so I made it wider. I'm not super excited because this pattern is a huge pain in the ass, but it looks really cool. I'm torn whether or not to do the whole scarf in the chevrons or just do the chevrons as the ends. Again, they look so cool. But they're so hard. And it's not like this is even the best yarn to see this pattern in. Poor choice on my part when I made the hat, but the hat is made and on my dad's head, so the scarf has to match, and here I am.
I'm thinking at least two repetitions of the pattern, and then maybe switch into stockinette. Then again, maybe not. I guess I'll have to wait and see how much I freaking hate this pattern after two repetitions. Updates to follow. But not tonight.
Happy knitting!
