Multidirectional Scarf, started November 13th, 2006, finished November 15th, 2006
Pattern: Multidirectional Scarf
Yarn: Patons Shetland Chunky in High Plains
Needles: 6.5 mm circs
Dimensions: I decided to keep knitting and eventually stop when I hit the end of the ball, so it’s actually a bit small. I like it, though; it just the right size for a stylish jacket scarf.
Pattern Notes: I followed the directions in all respects except that I didn’t have the pattern with me when I had to finish it off, so I made up something that ended up being fairly similar to the instructions. Once it got to the halfway point of the last triangle, I started K2TOGing on the first two stitches and then finished off with a k3tog and a bunch of hairbraininess at the end.
Would I knit it again? This is the fastest scarf I’ve ever knit, I believe. Possibly because it’s the first scarf I continentalled. I’m getting fairly confident with it, so fairly soon I believe I will start purling! Gasp! This is a great pattern to knit for a boy, especially with rugged yarn such as the Shetland Chunky. So if I have to knit another quick scarf, I’d do it again. I’d buy two balls next time, though.
Hey.. with a scarf like that you would think that pumkin would be smiling!
hmmm grouch!
Hey a quick question.. where did you get your little progress themometer? I could use a more accurate one than the one I have for my fundraising site http://www.loomknittingmom.blogspot.com

I got it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpfundthermo
It’s relatively easy to set up if you have a place to host PHP files.
