knitting in the dark

It’s done! The Henry Scarf from the Fall 2007 Knitty for my friend Alex’s birthday; I hope he likes it.

pattern: Henry

yarn: Louet Gems Fingering in Indigo

needles: ADDI turbos in 3.25mm and 4mm

started: 27 September 2007

finished: 12 November 2007

notes: I made each row 500 stitches instead of the 450 called for in the pattern. And it still came out shorter than specified! The finished dimensions: 56″ x 6″. I had some extra yarn left from the half-pound cone, but I didn’t really feel like knitting another 24 row repeat (that’s 12,000 stitches, folks!). This is the only thing I’ve worked on during the past six weeks…

I think I mentioned this in my last post, but I like the back better than the front of this pattern!

Let’s have one more shot just for good measure…

And now I can move on to other projects that I planned out in my daydreams while working on this one!
