some projects take more time to finish then others. and not always because they’re difficult or because one isn’t happy with the result or progress, but simply because they’re… big. or long. combine that with knitting gazillion other things at the same time you might eventually end up with a scarf like this:
i hear you say it, why on earth knit a two metre long scarf in stocking stitch in the round on 2.5 mm needles?
well, because i wanted one.
stripey scarf in autumn colours
pattern: inspired by a scarf i saw at yll o tyll in uppsala

yarn source: yll o tyll
needles: 2.5 mm
started: october 2007

i’ve got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
i’m calling it maple because it contains all the colours you can find in a maple leaf in autumn.
it’s also good to know that laban is always ready to help out when it comes to modelling a work in progress:
happy knitting!
Nice colours in the nicest yarn!
Too true! 😉
Men det blev ju helt fantastiskt vacker! Och de små tofsar blev så perfekta.
Beautiful result! I completely understand why you wanted to knit this scarf, no matter how long it would take 🙂
Colour distribution is oh so wonderful! It looks so warm and so autumn. Love your scarf.
Yours is even more beautiful than the original! Definitely worth the wait (and the work!)
