Its a fairly easy cable pattern (more details on that in the future, I modified a stitch pattern and love it). Maybe by posting this here it'll give me a bit more motivation to get this finished. And look at that pretty sunlight in the background. It was a lovely day today, but I didn't realize it until about 4pm. I had a horrible migraine today and was in bed most of the day. But at least I was home when the sun was out to take some pictures :)
I sure do like stash diving! I've been going through my stash to see what a I really need, what I have too much of, and doing a bit of destashing. I couldn't part with this pretty yarn that I purchased last year on our trip to Boston. Its Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair. I LOVE IT!! Oh, a sweater out of this would be heavenly!
And this isn't a WIP anymore! Lookie!

hmmm, missed monday...still like the format and you'll get used to it!
the scarf is great. made my dad one last year!
It's the father's day gift that keeps on giving!
I like the blog format. The FO is fabulous - that knit up really quick!
As for the scarf. Don't touch anything else til it's finished. You'll complete it by the end of this weekend.
Sorry you had a migraine - that sucks. Hope you're feeling better.
Oh, and well done for stash-diving and destashing. I always approve of that ;0)
everyone has started their insane amount of christmas knitting. we need our own brand of coffee for this!
that scarf is great! I've been looking for a nice cabled pattern for scarf...
And I very much like your new blog layout!
Something in the air? I developed a tension headache yesterday afternoon which just wouldn't go away.
The scarf is looking great & cozy for when the cooler weather finally gets here.
I've been so used to the old format, I think I just need to get used to the new one. But I like the colors.
That scarf is awesome! Love the stitch pattern. The mohair looks cozy.
Oh..lovely, cushy looking scarf. Hoping you feel better soon!
ps. I like the blog format, the newer one is easier to add stuff too I think.
That scarf is gorgeous!!
You're giving me a bit of motivation to finish the scarf I started for my dad a couple of months ago. Maybe I'll have it finished by Christmas?
Love the tweedy yarn you're using for your dad's scarf. It doesn't seem like it's really tweed but you're getting that kind of effect. He'll love it.
Great scarf for your dad! I really like the cable stich and the tweedy yarn in interesting, but still really manly. I'm sure he'll love it.
