October...........

With the arrival of October along came the cloud, wind and rain. Thankfully we spent a fabulous five days in Malaga with unbroken sunshine and temperatures into the 30s giving me a chance (maybe the last of the year?) for some bright blue days! I chose a simple pattern this month with a couple of ribbed cables and some diagonal stripes:

 The scarf is getting pretty long now, so I came up with a novel way to fit it all in to one photo......

September..........

September has been glorious - day after day of sunshine, it's just a shame I had to be in work! The pattern is called scotch faggot cable and has both lace and cable stitches, the repeats made it very easy to do:

It's getting difficult to photograph the whole scarf now, but I love the way you can clearly see what a brilliant summer we have had.

August.........

A week on a Greek Island has contributed to the bright blue week during this month:

I used a quite complicated cable pattern during this month, it was really tricky to keep on top of whether I was going over or under and exactly when I needed to complete each cable - I don't plan to use such a complicated pattern again during this project!

 The overall scarf is now a useable length - just another 4 months to go and I think it's going to be much taller than I am!!
