What I Did, Day Three...

Day Three of summer vacation dawned early...but hooray, we slept late!  We didn't even tackle The List until after lunch, when we went to the movies to see Cars 2.  Speed.  I am speed...

Late that afternoon, the Malabrigo (yay!) chevron scarf finally had its bath...

...and was blocked.

It was interesting to see how the color went from a little more yellow-ish to a little more dark green-ish down the length of the scarf.  It was knit out of one skein (well, two thirds of one skein) without any knots, so the gradation was just part of how the yarn was dyed I suppose.  My favorite are the occasional flecks of bright periwinkle blue, no more than a few stitches long whenever it showed up in the skein...

The pattern was so simple.... Cast on...hmmm.  Well.  I don't seem to have written that down, but it looks from the pattern that you cast on a multiple of 15 plus 2...does that sound right, looking at row one below?

Row One - K1, *K2tog, K5, YO, K1, YO, K5, Slip 1, K1, psso; repeat from * to last stitch, K1
Row Two - Purl

At the beginning and end of the scarf, work 2 rows reverse stockinette.  Bind off on right side (in knit).  The ends will be a little different from each other, since they draw up according to the pattern, but probably only a knitter would notice...

I had a Day Two peach with every meal, and may have had an in-between meals peach as well.  Summer vacation is a good thing.
