Bday scarf

Are you sitting down?  Yes, it's a knitting post.

Our good friend W turned 10 this week.  In celebrating him, I began my first knitting project of 2010.  A simple chunky scarf using Wool-Ease that I had in my stash.

This is a kid who likes to be active and outside.  A lot.  So I needed a yarn which would withstand not only snags in trees and tumbles on the ground, but also washings.  And more washings.

I had some of the green leftover from nephew T's birthday hat, so decided to add stripes...which breaks up the black nicely, I think.

I have 10 stripes going on the end I started with.  Will see if there is enough yarn to do 10 more stripes at the other end.  Of course I realized too late that I could have done 5 and 5 and that would have equaled 10 with no drama of running out of yarn.  But I only unravel when absolutely necessary.

Sigh.  I'm just like that.
