They are there, my work isn't stretched here and keep in mind I'm using an all cotton yarn so the the work isn't as defined.

I'm also making this. I'm sorry, but I don't see the double yarnovers in your scarf?

Great scarf. Love the color, neutral but not boring. When you work with a new stitch pattern, try copying it and pasting onto index cards. Then just punch a hole in one corner and slip onto the ring. I keep a binder ring from the office supply with my current project stitch patterns/directions/needle,yarn,guage notes on it. As I finish with one card in the set, I flip to the next and put a small bulldog clip in the margin to hold my place. Its very portable and you can inexpensively have a set for each WPI.

One of the Mason Dixon bloggers just finished this scarf!

Thus the second one I've seen in a blog. Humm.... might need to add this soon. Looks almost like Clapotis.

What a smart idea to use rubber bands on DPNs!

Your scarf looks great - I really love the color you chose.

I have the same trouble with my right hand turns every time I knit a lace baby blanket from knitty. I don't know what my problem is!!!

The yarn might soften when washed. I find this true of cotton yarns. That said, I haven't worked with this particular yarn.

ooh yours is coming out nice!! :D I did this pattern w/ less repeats for a guy in alpaca. It came out great. But the pattern took me a while to memorize.. i had to keep checking and checking on what i was doing. so annoying!

The pattern looks really nice. I am sure it will finish up lovely. The yarn looks soft in the photo too..

I love the color you chose!

I think I need to make this sometime soon. Either that or I am going to turn that stitch pattern into some socks.

I've started knitting this scarf too, but with Handmaiden sea silk. I've made a mistake or two, and I, too, am choosing to ignore and carry on. You're much farther than I am! Cheers!

Michelle - YES! I've never had a problem taking knitting needles on an airplane, even with metal dpns.

Can you take knitting needles on the airplane? I always assumed they would be confiscated. So much knitting time wasted!
