sending up smoke signals
Have you checked out Jared Flood's Woodsmoke scarf? What a great gift idea! It doesn't take long to knit at all and I've always loved the process of knit-on edging.
The nagging began in the back of my mind two days ago. It seemed like I may run short on the edging yarn. I kept knitting and tried to focus on the positive possibility that there may be enough...just enough yarn to finish.
Sadly, my suspicion was confirmed. Last night, I knit the last full repeat possible and found myself short of yarn.
Estimates put me approximately 10 yards short and I've messaged a Raveler with leftovers to see if she is willing to part with it. Let's hope she answers my 'smoke' signal!
Malabrigo Silky Merino is very pleasing to knit with. I've used it before and remember how yummy this yarn actually is. It usually runs around $11 for 150 yards and the colors are fabulous. The inside of this scarf is knit with Redwood and the edging is, of course, Smoke.
Happy Friday!

I'll definitely be checking out Jared Flood's scarf. Thanks for the link. Right now I'm knitting his Urban Aran Cardigan.
Good luck with your smoke signal, hope you get the yarn you need!
Lovely scarf!
