I don't remember knitting this scarf. I remember after casting on, taking it to a craft group meeting where there's a good chance I just sat there with it in my hands while I talked and never knit a stitch That's about it for memories on this one beyond remembering vividly the first time I saw the pattern on Knitty I utterly hated it based on the modeled photos with the pattern.

I don't know how I came around to deciding to knit it but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in the pile of un-posted FO's the other day. 'Feels more like a gift than something I made

Ravelry tells me I started this a couple of weeks after Mom's funeral so I must have found it a soothing, mindless thing to work on. As the above photo shows it has an easy self-evident pattern repeat and the light majority-mohair yarn has good body to it with a surprisingly soft feel. The photo above says it all.

• A nice "gift" from me to me! I like it.
• I like the colour - evocative of spring to which the size of the scarf is well suited.
• It seems to have blocked out quite nicely.
• The single ball of yarn was from a DKC yarn giveaway so the price was right! That also explains why there's no reference for this colourway on line. Its discontinued.
• I've never worn this scarf except to take pictures of it the other day but I bet it'll be surprisingly warm and I'll get lots  of springtime wear out of it!

Okay enough of this disturbingly recall-free post! Tomorrow 2012 FO's #3&4 - a couple of go-together knits I do remember making.

'Hope to "see" you then! Thanks for dropping by!
