Not one, but two of them. :)
The second one knitted up quicker than the first, but the pattern isn’t difficult and the lighter yarn helped too. I have bought enough yarn to do another 3 of these scarfs, although I think I will take a break before I start the next one. The colours used here are Blackcurrent and Glacier of Rowans Kid Silk Haze. This yarn was lovely to knit with and really didn’t take long to knit up. It uses 3 x 25g balls per scarf and you just knit until you are nearly at the end of the yarn. The pattern says to finish on a row 15 of the pattern, but with the first scarf I finished on the 7th row of the 31st repeat. The second scarf is slightly longer. It finished on the 15th row of the 31st repeat. There was still some more yarn left over, maybe enough to get to the 7th row of the 32nd repeat, but I didn’t want to take the chance and have to unravel back to the 15th row. The worst thing about this yarn is taking back rows because of the fluffy bits. :) The yarn for the first scarf came as a kit from Rowan, purchased from John Lewis in Aberdeen for £25. I then bought the second and a further 3 scarfs from GetKnitted.com The yarn costs £7.25 per ball, although you may be able to find it slightly cheaper if you shop around online.
