This was pure indulgence to knit. Cashmere yarn and Brittany Birch needles. It took me a few tries to get the swing of the pattern. And I started on Addis which were too slippery. I ripped and restarted and it was such a pleasure after that.

It's really pretty, MB. What a treat to knit with that wonderful yarn. Is that for the store? Or a gift? Or better yet, for you?!

The scarf shows off the simple, yet wonderful beauty that the contrast between knit and purl can provide. I love it, and the yarn must be heavenly to knit with.

Love the scarf! And it appears unisex, right? Very nice. I have a bunch of alpaca yarn looking for a job.

It's gorgeous, MB. Love the pattern, the yarn, the color. Hey, try playing with the white balance setting on your camera. If you hit the "WB" button on the back, it'll bring up a menu where you change the setting from automatic to daylight. Experiment with it. I've noticed a big difference in color accuracy and have stopped using the auto setting.

That's so pretty! I have only knit with cashmere once but it was very nice. I may have to get that pattern.

Wow, that really is lovely. I could hope it is for you, like everyone else, but I think I'll dream it is for me. :)

Nice scarf! I'll have to remember those patterns when I get round to spinning up the alpaca I bought when I visited the farm year before last.
