Wavy scarf

Tried my hand at an actual pattern for grown up knitters: Kieran Foley's Arran Waves.

Close-up before...



... and while being blocked on our living room floor rug:



And man, this was tricky. It took me over a month, I started over twice, but ended up with a result that I'm quite happy with. What i'm really not happy with anymore after this time is the yarn. In the beginning I liked the blue texture, but on the whole, the pattern is far too busy to do it justice. It also looks as though it really wanted to become a sock. Well, it can't be changed, and I'm not about to do this again any time soon. Sadly, it's also a bit too short for my taste .

Despite all the imperfections you perceive as the creator (we always do), I think it looks beautiful. Wish I could do something like this :) I really have to learn how to knit.

It's beautiful, anyway, and looks really cool. That pattern looks so complicated! I like the pattern of the colour-changing thread with this one; perhaps I just like 'busy' things. (; Anyway, well done! What project are you working on now?
