I feel bad for this scarf because, of the two scarves I am knitting right now, it is truly the less fun one. I think the finished product is very fun looking, but the knitting of it? Yeah... not so much fun. Here's a photo:
In the lower left corner, you seen the photo from the pattern -- isn't it fun? I think so! But it's just, erm... a boring knit on small needles. So it's slooow. Also, it's going to look way better once it's blocked, so it's hard to even get jazzed about what I've got so far... sigh.
Oh, yeah... and when my grandma saw it, she said, "Erm... why are you knitting that?" So I might be alone in thinking that this scarf is fun. Whee.
Next up: the more fun scarf! Those loops are a blast to knit!
love,
kelly

Don't you love the addi lace needles? I do!
Yes -- they were an absolute life-saver on this project! I started w/ regular addis and almost tore my hair out. After reading all of the ravings about the pointy goodness of the addi lace needles, I took the plunge. Muuuuch better.
Plus, I can also use them as a weapon if ever the need arises. Pointy!
I've been knitting baby sweaters on them, and I love. So pointy, so smooth!
What color are you making it in?
I'm making it in the color you see there -- that's my scarf-in-progress w/ the pattern on top of it.
Did I take such a lovely product shot that you didn't realize it was my scarf? ;)
I thought it was the pro picture! I like that color...would you call it coral?
I think I would call it "coral." Oh, yes, and the maker of this yarn also does!
It was a kit I bought here and I had 3 colors to choose from: Coral, Celadon, or Aqua.
I may have been influenced by the pattern photo and the name "CoralReef" to choose the coral color. I dunno. I just liked it.
It *is* like a coral reef. How clever! It's going to be gorgeous!
