Yarn: 3 skeins Manos del Uruguay in Mallard
Needles: 4.5 mm bamboo circular (16”)
This scarf is wonderfully long and cozy feeling. Rob wraps it around his neck twiceand it still has long tails dangling down. I finished it over Easter weekend but the weather was warming so quickly I wasn’t sure Rob would be able to wear it comfortably until next fall - luckily spring has been very gradual this year and it is still chilly in the mornings when we walk to work.
Rob picked out the yarn for me when we were in Edmonton in February. It feels lovely and warm and was very nice to knit with. The colour is absolutely amazing; it’s teal but with an unusual depth. In the sunshine the colour seems takes on a life all its own.
Knitting back and forth on the circular worked well though sixteen inches was a little short. It was easy to take this project with me when I went out and not worry about accidentally dropping a needle somewhere. I was even able to knit standing in line at the bank!
