LOVE.
Really. L♥VE!
This will be the christmas present for a friend, and I hope she likes it just as much as I do…!

I’ve ordered the book right away because I didn’t want to wait for an english (not to mention german!) translation of the pattern. I wanted to knit this NOW and in time for christmas for my friend…

The scarf is very long, which doesn’t really show up in the pictures: About 210 cm long and barely 37 cm wide at the widest point (my gauge was a bit off, but to hell with it!)

The garter stitch fabric is squishy and soft as we’re used to, and despite of being very lightweight (didn’t use up the whole skeins), this scarf will be pretty warm and soft.

I’m already thinking about making one for myself and one for the husband (as soon as I’ve finished the other thousand things I just need to knit!).
Definitely a design even the hubby would wear!

ETA: The (first) photo must be credited to my friend, who received this scarf.
I finished it just before I dropped it in the mail, so I haven’t had the opportunity to take a pic with the tassels on. (No decent light those days, anyway. Hence the other poorly lit pics.)

Personally, I found the dictionaries from drops, ulla, and of course google translate pretty helpful to get an idea of how the pattern works.
I found out that the google translation finnish/english works a tad better than finnish/german.

If you’re thinking about getting the book: It IS do-able, even if you don’t understand a single word finnish. It just needs a bit of time…

Looks like there are still tons of work ahead of me because I love so many things in this book.
