Pattern: Montego Bay by
Amy Singer for
Interveave Knits Summer 2007
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay (cotton, silk, microfiber) x3 for the body and . 25 of a 4th for the fringe
Needles: 6.00 wooden straights gifted by Travis last xmas
Modifications: I used larger needles to make it airier and less fringe(2strands) so I'd have a 4th ball to make some wristwarmers out of in future~!
Notes: I realize now how torrid this love affair was. I set aside everything I'd been working on and feverishly worked away to finish this scarf. After the inital set up rows I had no problems with this pattern, no problems counting 3 or 4 at the beginning as I would take the clue of the end of the previous row. It did not lag on, as I've seen other bloggers suggest... I believe from start to finish it took me one week of subway knitting, couple skate sessions and approx 2-3 movies. hardly a project that requires a lot of commitment- though I did give myself over to it completely. Have I gushed enough? bah, one more. Cathay- How do I love thee? let me count the ways.
1. the color ranges are fantastic. The seafoam I choose has such depth from the silk and microfiber
2. it's drape is so magnificent- van eyk woudl be proud!!
3. did i mention it's freakin soft?
4. IT WAS ON SALE!!!! (can I get an amen?))
