For your knitting pleasure...
I spent most of today, when I wasn't helping customers, photographing and typing out the pattern for the scarf I have been working on recently.
I had wanted to make a scarf that was truly reversible, but after trying several reversible stitch patterns, all of which knit up to create a fabric that didn't have a nice drape. This stitch pattern, while not truly reversible, looks good on both sides and really complements the beautiful, soft merino wool. I used 4 skeins of Tilli Tomas Aspen, in the colour Atmosphere to create this 72" scarf. Three skeins makes a nice cosy 54" long scarf. Here is the pattern for your knitting pleasure:
