Sally Scarf ala Kim

Working on Christmas gifts and having a most beautiful blue in Cascade 128 I set out looking for the perfect pattern for a scarf.  I found the Sally Scarf on Ravelry.  I  started making it with no stripes and soon realized that it wasn't going to be as long as I would like so I set off to Barbara Sue Brodie in Aiken.  Thankfully my realization came at the same time I was headed in that direction for Aiken's Makin.  It's a yearly event that I go to with my high school friend Mary Ellen and this year her two daughters came with us.  Well BSB does not carry Cascade :(  but the lady there helped me find an acceptable alternative in Berroco Plush Colors.  Well I must say I love the combination and the Berroco is ever so soft!!   I also have to say I only followed the directions for the original cast on rows and bind off rows all those in between I was just winging and changing colors when I felt the need to.  It's still the same knit purl pattern and it was a very easy knit.

I'm still working on the Nutkin socks and have started the Lime Aid socks.  I'm also knitting another Christmas gift called the Honey Cowl and am loving it!  May have to make one for myself too ;)
