Sunday Driving in Summer Scarf

  I completed my summer scarf.    I cast on 350 sts with Nashua Handknits Ecological Cotton on a US 10 needle and knit in garter stitch  through 2 skeins.  Not rocket science I know, but it makes a perfectly good summer accessory.

I also cast on for the Ravelympics Hana Jason's Gathered Pullover from Winter 2007 Interweave Knits using Garnstudio Alpaca.  This knits up so fast - it's sport weight knit on a US 7 needle.

Last night I finished the yoke on my Nashua Top, leaving me with just the finishing to do.

It took only one skein, leaving me with this:

My challenge to myself is to whip up an August Scarf by the end of the week.  I will keep you posted.   If it turns into anything interesting, I will gladly share the pattern here.  But lets not get ahead of ourselves...
