Scarf: Complete

After traversing half a dozen countries over 7 time zones, my green scarf that I started in Siberia is now complete!



I knitted the whole thing out on my chopsticks which turned out to be ok knitting needles once I got into the swing of it. It was 30 stitches wide, which isn't too big, but quite hard as the needles taper quickly so I was only working with a very small space. I also have knitted a scarf in an off white natural wool I purchased from a spinner in Finland, that one was only 15 stitches, so it was a quicker job, and I ribbed the ends of it.

The funny thing is, having completed the two projects, the weather here in France is amazing and completely inappropriate for scarves. We're about two hours east of Toulouse, right near the Mediteranian. Every day has been clear blue skys and mid twenties. The evenings are cooler, but seems I don't like red wine when the weather's too hot this is really a perfect arrangement.
