Notes

This colourway is my top favourite ever. I’d like to put it all over my bedroom walls (except there i’d do clouds, not darts).
Thought i’d bought two more of Gradient but it’s Reggae Ombré, which is the same felty stuff in the same colors, but a different weight.
So, necessity being the mother of invention, i’m going to do this with DK weight for MC and Aran for CC. See how that turns out. If it’s crappy, I’ll have to buy two more skeins of one weight. Or both.
Update: it’s just fine. The dk stockinette between the aran garter ridges gives the scarf a nice drape.

logistics:
MC skein on my left, CC on my right
change yarn from MC to CC: take CC skein, from right to left under MC thread, then from left to right over.
From CC to MC: take MC skein, from left to right over CC thread, then from right to left under.

pre-blocking, the v-side till bind off was 1.20 m (4ft).
post blocking it’s 1.45 m (5ft)

The yarn had three or four breaks in it plus one big felty chunk. Plus it scratched my skin to the point of bleeding. Had to switch to dutch knitting inst. of continental because of it. Otherwise, gorgeously light, warm and colourful.

Adding two wrist warmers, somewhat zigzaggy.
