The scarf I can’t live without

Congratulations—you’re in Vienna, minding your own business, and suddenly you wake up and find out it’s snowing. In the middle of March.

Okay, your last winter was spent in Minnesota, where the snow didn’t thaw until the last week of April. Your spirit isn’t too shattered as you kind of expected this. Still, you were looking forward to spring, and you don’t really want to go out in the snow. But you have to anyway, so you just sigh and pull out your current favorite knits: practically your only sweater, the hat that you need to photograph but would look funny over your pigtails, and the softest, loveliest scarf you have. If you only had this scarf out of all the ones you brought with you to Europe you’d be fine, and now you kind of wish you had only brought this scarf…

This, everyone, is Unbiased, a pattern I think doesn’t get enough attention at all. Only four projects on Ravelry?! That doesn’t make sense at ALL. (Okay, it probably doesn’t help that I made this out of Malabrigo.) But still, it’s a great scarf, and my professor here loves it and asked if she could have the pattern… heheheh. Knitting professors. :D

Here’s a close up of the edging detail that I did not get right the first time around:

Pretty, huh? So why didn’t I show you all this before? Well, this was a before-blog project, but I always thought it was good enough for a FO post here. That, and the pattern needs some more attention because it is so awesome and I love it. I love this scarf. I think everyone should make one just like it. You know what’s really great about it? It’s so long, I wrap it twice around my neck and feel snuggly warm and cozy wherever I go, even when it’s snowing.

More details, of course, on Ravelry. Until tomorrow—socks! Keep me to that promise, please.
