I finished this up Saturday morning while watching the rest of the Fleece and Harmony wool cast, and more PLY Guild videos, and immediately blocked it.
It is funny, but when I was working on it, I thought it would be longer, based on the amount of yarn that I had, but actually it ended up only slightly (about 4 inches) longer than the pattern called for. In the end I did 15 repeats of the pattern, with 7.7 grams of yarn left over, definitely not enough for another repeat - no yarn chicken here. I’ll use up that remnant on my Zoom loom and add the squares to my growing stash of squares that one day will become something.
I found some suitable buttons in my voluminous button stash and sewed them on this morning. I’m still figuring out how to wear/style it, but I am very happy with how it came out. The cables are nice and plump even though this is only a 2-ply yarn.
This is the cozy styling, but I will probably wear it with the top edge turned down.
Pattern: Tredegar Scarflette by Jo-Anne Klim
Yarn: Rosie’s Multicolor Merino Top, handspun by me
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm) for the very beginning and ending, US 6 (4.0) for the main part
