Blustery day
Pattern: Clapotis by Kate Gilbert.
Modifications: Much narrower and longer than pattern. I think I did 3 or 4 increase repeats, and probably 20 or so straight section repeats.
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted merino in Tuscan Sky, purchased from WEBS.
Needles: US 7s (gauge is a bit tight, I'd probably use 8s the next time I use Malabrigo.)
Size: about 12" wide and about 8' long.
I love this scarf. It's so incredibly soft and snuggly. And I finished it as just the right time. The last two days it was cold and drizzly and I was so happy to have a warm scarf. Sadly I left it at home today, and my office is chilly.
I'm very tempted to make a sweater out of Malabrigo at some point. I know it will pill like crazy, but I think it might be worth it to be all cuddled up, especially if I can get it 25% off with a combined WEBS order again. We shall see. Speaking of WEBS, my order did arrive on Tuesday, and I cast on for two new projects. Two steps forward, one step back, and all that. Pictures coming soon.

That looks lovely! I can just imagine how soft and snuggly it is. How many skeins of Malabrigo did you use?
