Definitely worth the boredom

I finally finished knitting the Mountain Stream Scarf on Thursday, and blocked it on Saturday. Needless to say, I am super happy about this!

(The first photo is a bit truer to color.)

Pattern:
Mountain Stream Scarf by Susan Lawrence

Yarn:
Jaggerspun Superfine Merino in Ruby

Needles:
US2 / 2.5mm Inox Express circulars

Modifications:
Finer yarn and needles, mostly. I also have no idea how many repeats I knit; I just kept knitting until I was nearly out of yarn.

 
I enjoyed knitting this until I got about halfway through, and then I got bored with it for awhile. Because, well, it’s a scarf, and scarves usually drag. Turning the corners was fun, though, and it went pretty quickly. I really liked the actual construction, it’s quite clever and I’d like to use it again sometime.

Also, I really like the finished product. It’s pretty and light and airy, which makes it a great San Diego “fall” accessory.
