Wavy scarf

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

... 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 .

Thanks! :) The designer has done many cool patterns with drop stitches, they work really well, I think. The yarn I had left over from another project and thought it was perfect at first, too, now I can't see it any more. I think that'll probably change again at some point, though.
