I am just starting my second scarf which is going to be brown with gold stripes for my hubby. It would be very cool if I could make the stripe into a zig-zag pattern so it it would look like a "Charlie Brown" scarf but I think that may be way too hard to do.

Anyway thanks to this thread, I can look up how to cast on all over again.  :)

The finished product. Now you can see what all the fuss was about.

Diane, that would appear to be something like a cross between a scarf and a coat. Have you just invented the "scoat"?

It's certainly bright and colouful. Reminds me of "Where's Wally?".

That reminds me, has anyone seen Mince lately?

She's only 12, she'll grow into it and it may ride up with wear.

If this were Facebook I would "like" DL and Nige's posts.  :)

I just watched HP and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, last night. Didn't see it at the movies, although have read the book, a while ago now. Scarf looks terrific, Diane. I was thinking about the Charlie Brown zigzags and yes, I think it would be quite difficult to do, as you'd end up with lots of long bits of wool on the back. Probably the best way to do it would be to do twice the length, double it over and sew together, so that you have two smooth sides.   :)

Who's DL?

Dear Joan
Too early in the year to have to apologise for anything!
