Startitis got me. I made a major mistake on the late-for-spring shawl, so once I tinked back two rows, I needed a break from working on it, so that was my excuse to start something new.
Anne Hanson released a new pattern called Fallberry. It's a hat, scarf, and fingerless mitt set. I'm just making the scarf.
I have enough of the yarn to make the scarf a little wider and somewhat longer. The yarn is Cascade 220 Superwash Sport. The colorway is 811 - a deep, jeweltone teal blue (which my camera isn't reading well for some reason). It's 100% merino wool, so it's quite soft.
The pattern is a 16-row repeat, and eight of those rows are just knit and purl across.
Translation: This thing is flying off the needles. I started it last Saturday, and I've got 13 of the recommended 20 pattern repeats done already. I'll do more repeats until I run out of yarn.
Looks a lot like fish scales at the moment, but once it's blocked, the yarnovers, which you can barely see now, will show more and give it a lacier look. I'm looking forward to having a new scarf for fall.

Beautiful! And I love the yarn. I've been stealing moments to knit on a pretty little simple fall color mini mochi scarf for morale. The last time I had a chance to play with it was for 10 minutes at a doctor's appointment, but even if I have to go on 4 hours of sleep, I'm determined to be able to wear it by November at least! The problem is, I want to make mitts to match. Dumb grad school and work!
