Scarves

When I began knitting in earnest a few years ago, I must have made about a gazzilion scarves...OK, it wasn't that many, but it was a lot. I had a long commute on the bus to go to my teaching job, and I often knitted to pass the time. I gave away many of those scarves, and I unraveled some and turned them into other projects, but I still have several, and I really like to wear them. Now I don't knit (or crochet) scarves so often, but I did just finish one, and another is on the needles. The one below was a WIP (see Project Updates), and I decided to finally finish it (remember my new resolve to get my WIPS taken care of?). When I got it out and measured it, I discovered it was already long enough and only needed the fringe. That was a nice surprise!

The "clapotis" is going to be wide enough to be a scarf or a shawl. The yarn is variegated, and the colors tend to "pool" so I am alternating skeins as I knit. I switch between skeins every other row, and carry the yarn that's not being used up the side.
