what beautiful scarves. i like the delicate lace work of the purple one and how it ruffles on the ends. it looks like a fun scarf to make. i'm impressed by the cable work you did for the green one and the tassels are a nice touch. how long did it take to make the green one? i found cabling to be very tedious and sometimes difficult to knit.
Thanks sukogirl! The "flutter" scarf is a mimknits pattern. The straight portion is a 4 row repeat and very easy to memorize. I worked both of them sort of simultaneously and they probably took 3 weeks or so? I liked cables a lot more after I read about cabling without a cable needle on grumperina's knitblog. I just started a scarf with a brioche stitch reversible cable where the cable is 12 stitches wide and includes yarn-overs, so it's impossible to do without a separate needle, but for small cables like this it works really well!
these are both really gorgeous. i especially love the mauve (?) one, it looks very light and delicate, like sukogirl was saying, and the lettuce edging is cool too---i haven't really seen that before in knitting, only sewing (done using a serger). where did you get the pattern from? the idea of cables without using a cable needle sounds cool, i will have to look into it. i agree w/ sukogirl that cables can tedious/hard to knit---i like the u-shaped cable needles better than the ones that are flat across with a little v in the middle.
thanks cignoh! the flutter pattern is from http://mimknits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66&products_id=201
she designed the shawl that i'd made for my mom as well. Yeah, i like the u-shaped ones better too.
