Pattern: Saroyan by Liz Abinante It's available on Ravelry for free!
Yarn: Ultra Alpaca, Denim Mix
Needles: Size 9 straights
The pattern can be adjusted easily in length and width. I made 6 repeats on the increase decrease parts and 16 on the straight parts. The scarf measured while blocking was 82 inches long and 9.5 inches wide. Going down a needle size might have worked a little better. This scarf wraps around numerous times like a furry, warm pet and is cushy and soft. The pattern is well written and the lace easy to do.
On the life scene, I decided to go back into retirement and resigned from my job. It was nice while it lasted. I was working more then I ever planned to in retirement. When some scheduling changes came up, it seemed like the right time.
Now I have nothing on the needles again. Shall I join the Madelinetosh creature comforts cardi KAL with Opal? I'm not sure I want a whole cardigan in the Baltic Madelinetosh worsted which is what I have in stash. I'm on a yarn diet, yes I am. Shall I jump the gun and start Citron? Or maybe socks, Crosswalkers in STR.

I love that cardi, I think I have it in my queue.
That cardigan is gorgeous, with its little oak leaves. Madeline Tosh...she's all the rage now. Or her yarns are, anyway.
I like the Saroyan. It's a big big thing with my current knitting group.
Love your Saroyan! How many skeins did you use? Yes, you should join us in the CC Cardi ;) My swatch is drying.
CCC!!!!! I already started mine!!! Come on and play, Barb!
The scarf is beautiful but if it's too long you can always pass it on to me. ;)
