My first few inches of Irish Scarf
Hello, dear friends!
I joined both KAL (the Irish Hiking Scarf and the Conquering Cables). Since the project applies to both, here it is. I have begun my very first scarf with cables... following the pat
tern given by the blog's homepage. I am enjoying this very much. It knits up quite quickly, and the cable isn't difficult... I bought a cable needle and I enjoy it, although sometimes I am not very sure how to handle it when it's hanging in front of work. Sometimes it gets stucked with the work while I am trying to knit the first three stitches before those on the cable.. oh well :) About the yarn: It's called "Colore", by "Rubí" - this is made in Seville. I haven't been able to find it anywhere on the Internet. I am afraid it is an obscure brand made exclusively for a big commercial centre (El corte inglés). Anyway, here is the beginning of the scarf.
**** ******** ********* ************* **** ** * * *** *****************
The yarn is multicoloured but the cables show up nicely. It really looks lovely, more than in the photographs (isn't that frustrating?). Anyway, I am going to continue this. I have two balls... it should server. They measure some 260meters together.

Yours it the first scarf I've commented on. Although they all turn out soooo pretty, they tend to look similar. Yours is so cool! I love the colors! I would so wear that! Very "outstanding", heh heh, get it?
Wow! That is the most beautiful colorway I've ever seen. And you're doing a fantastic job with the cables! Way to go!
Wow! Thank you so much, I am so happy to read that! It's a great encouragement to go on :)
Lots of love!
Flavio :)
PS: Aren't colours lovely!
Great looking scarf, Flavio! I love 'El corte inglés', such a fun store!
Hello! Yes it is :) I am so glad they opened one in my city. They have this "knitting corner" with all accessories and lots of yarn! :) wow :)
I usually chat with the woman there about projects and needles. It's such fun! Sometimes it looks like I am the only client :D
Love,
Fla
