A finished red scarf for my sister - something she's been asking for for a million years, and has finally eventuated.
Project Details
Pattern:Bainbridge scarf by Minty Fresh, available here
Yarn: I barely used anything of the 2/3 ball of Bendigo Woollen Mills Colonial 5 ply that I had left over from my Cranberry Rose Cardigan. I could probably make another 5 scarves with what I have left in my yarn ball!
I'm sure Ive mentioned it before but I don't like the yarn at all. The crepe construction leaves a very rough looking finished surface, and knits up pretty ugly. Additionally, it's a little itchy and very unsoft to touch. I won't ever buy this again unless I was knitting something to be felted or requires a bit more texture , sturdiness and roughness.
Needles: I used 4.00mm 16" circulars. The pattern (and yarn) recommends 3.75mm needles to get a gauge of 6st/inch but I lost one of my 3.75 needle connectors so had to make do.

Cute scarf! So nice of you to make it for your sister so quickly. It's a lovely colour! Thanks for the heads up about the yarn, I've never used that one before.
And thank you for your comment on my blog!
