After 3+ false starts, I am on a roll. I modified the pattern slightly, starting the cables at row 13 instead of 9, and doing the alternating cables every 7 rows instead of 9. So thick and fluffy!

Hmm… I like it, but can’t help wondering if maybe I should have gone with the original 9-row pattern… Nothing like being halfway done with a project and considering frogging it all.

Too far gone now to consider taking it all out, and the 7-row option looks nice. Very cushy.

But if I did it over again I’d go with the original 9-row option.

Argh… so close to finished, but can’t figure out if I should stop now and add fringe, or do one more cable and finish after that. Not sure if I have enough yarn to do another cable.

I did another cable, and had just enough to finish the scarf, although I might have one less row than the other end.

Not happy with the cast off; must learn a new method that matches my cast on. Also… the scarf is short. I’m contemplating frogging the whole thing and re-doing a different pattern. Maybe Lucy Locke’s Reversible Cable Scarf Pattern. Or one of the patterns I listed at the top that I had previously considered.

Love the yarn, at least.

My friend Rob has decided that he likes the scarf and will buy it from me. So instead of frogging the whole thing, I’ll just pass it on to him, buy myself some new Katia Peru (so soft!) and start over with a different pattern. It’s partly my fault for changing the repeat #s, but also this just didn’t turn out exactly as I wanted. Great pattern, just not what I’m looking for after all.
