Knitting Winter–Part 1

I am addicted to knitting!! I can’t stop doing it or looking up patterns or posting patterns to Pinterest. Of course, I’m not doing anything serious – like a sweater or socks or mittens. I’m making scarves and leg warmers because I enjoy the patterns. In fact, I’m somewhat hooked on cables. 

So here is an example of a scarf I just finished – it’s a braided cabled.

It is a dense, substantial scarf. Probably would have been looser if I had used bigger needles. Here are the specs:

Finished piece is 4 inches wide and 55.5 inches long.
