Red Scarf
The red scarf is done. And I have to tell you, I really like it. This is a pattern I picked out for the sole reason of using some red yarn stash, and as it turned out, it's a great pattern and a fun scarf.
Project Details:
Pattern: Antique Stitch Scarf from Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2005
Yarn: Jo Sharp Soho Summer DK Cotton in #221 - Carmen, 2 balls with this much left over.
Needles: Size 10 Brittany Straight Needles
Modifications: I used a different weight yarn than called for in the pattern and went up a needle size to compensate. The finished scarf ended up measuring 6 inches wide and 70 inches long (I knit another pattern repeat to use up the ball of yarn).
I'm mailing it off today and I am quite pleased with my first charity knitting project. It was a lot of fun and I hope the recipient really likes it.

That is beautiful! Great color. I did something similar to this awhile ago. I loved the long dropped stitches. It was a lot of fun to knit! Your recipient is very lucky!
