My latest pattern is a cosy scarf that's been in the works for quite a while.

I had the idea to design a soft textured scarf while looking out the window of an airplane, admiring the shapes of the clouds below. After much swatching, refining, finding the perfect yarn, and knitting, I finally have my scarf! This is Above the Clouds (Ravelry link), a worsted-weight wintery scarf with cloudlike texture...

Features:

knit-and-purl texture based on garter stitch and double moss stitch
completely reversible - identical on both sides
worsted-weight polwarth/alpaca/possum yarn for warmth
unisex style with adjustable length, to suit the wearer's height
long-tail cast on + simple knitted bind off
both charted and written instructions.

For my nice long scarf I used 3 balls of Outlaw Yarn's Bohemia Worsted (a blend of 45% polwarth, 45% alpaca, and 10% possum) in the colour 'Fog', which is a pale silvery grey. The possum and alpaca in the mix give Bohemia a slight fuzzy halo, but still leave stitch patterns well defined.
