I have also been making progress on my Tredegar Scarflette, although it isn’t very interesting, just more repeats of the cable pattern, which is a very nice cable pattern, and which the yarn does show off very nicely, despite being a 2-ply. I mean, what’s not to like? I love Celtic knots, and I love purple, and the fact that the yarn is my handspun just makes it that much sweeter. The pattern calls for this to be just long enough to wrap once around the neck, calling for a finished length of 30 inches. I am already one-third of the way there, and still have lots of yarn left, so I’m going to be making mine longer. We’ll see how long it ends up being. The pattern also has you make button holes in the far end before you bind off, and then sew buttons along the long side at the cast on end, so the ends meet at a right angle under you chin. I’m thinking of putting buttons on the short side of the cast on end so I can turn it into a cowl, or wear it as a scarf. I may also add buttons along the long side at the cast on end, as the pattern calls for, just to give me more wearing options. We shall see.
