Puddles? One would think the cable pattern reminded me of the ripples in a puddle. Or that this scarf would be perfect for a rainy day. But no. My dad asked for a “cabley” scarf for when he walks the doggies at night. And Puddles, as you know, is one of those doggies.

Fabulous scarf! It looks so soft too! Will Snowboarder give it up to Pa? hehe... I agree, one in Plucky would be awesome :)
Very cool. It fits that yarn perfect. And hooray for finishing it in time for your dad's bday!
I'm not sure what's being modeled here. The scarf or the boyfriend? ;) Both look pretty damn good.
Love the scarf pattern. Thank you for sharing!

Has anybody done a matching cap? i'd love to have something slouchy to go with my beautiful scarf.
I'm fairly new to knitting and I get a bit confused with the size of knitting needles. By size 11 - do you mean 3mm?
Awesome scarf i like it, i would like purchase it for my dog walk.
Dog Walking Los Angeles
Walking your dog in the city requires a special level of attention and awareness. If you're a first time dog owner in the city, it's worth reading a few words advice regarding what kind of things to look out for. If you're a seasoned dog owner moving to the city for the first time, it's a good idea to think about the ways in which city dog walking differs in nature from suburban or rural dog walking.
