FO: Irish Hiking Scarf
Yarn: Cascade 220Needles: US Size 9 Straights
Pattern: Irish Hiking Scarf Color #7814, I think. 2 Skeins.
I'm a fringe kinda girl, so I opted to fringe this baby. I think it turned out so wonderful, I'm so proud of it. I love this scarf. It's a little overkill for the weather where I live, but I don't care. Usually, when I knit something, I'm done with the pattern and I don't make another, but I want to cast-on for another scarf! My next will be 2 cables wide, as apposed to 3.
I learned a new skill while knitting this, too. Cabling without a cable needle is definatly the way to go. SO much faster. Here's a tutorial. One warning, though. Sometimes you could get a funky-looking Cable, but if you push your stitches down onto the full diameter of the needle, then your fine.
Here's a Close-up.

Very nice! Great job.
Oooooh, your scarf turned out beautiful. I love the green color.
The scarf looks great and gave me inspiration for a 2 cable scarf too made out of malabrigo for a friend. Was there a link for the cabling without a needle tutorial?
Mary: Sorry, I forgot to put the link up, it's there now.
Gorgeous - perfect color for an "Irish" scarf!
It's beautiful! Nice color, looks nice and squishy. You'll love this one.
wow, it came out so nicely!! love the cables.
That looks great! What color is the next one going to be?
Looks fantastic and that is definately green!
It's deffiantly a great scarf! I loved knitting it also. Mine was blue but I like your green one better.
I'm seeing this scarf everywhere & it always catches my eye. I'm totally digging the green (like the London Calling cover shade of green, it seems). Thanks for the link to that tutorial. I'm definitely adding this baby to my list.
