This project went so quickly I didn’t have time to put it on the progress list! I loved the yarn: Alchemy Migrations, the color: Purple Martin, and the pattern: Homeward Bound Scarf. It was a fast, easy, and stunning-looking project.

As a bonus, you get to see my DH.

The scarf is made with two skeins of yarn, and even though it’s a space-dyed colorway, I didn’t do anything to try to make the colors match or continue in any specific fashion when I joined the second skein. Upon hanging the scarf around my DH’s neck I noticed that the pattern came out perfectly bookmatched!

I used up all except about a foot of yarn (a tail at the cast on end and a little bit at the end) and I think this is a very nice length for a scarf.

Want to know a little secret? This is only the second hand-knit scarf I’ve ever completed (the other one was for an exchange). I usually find scarves to be long and boring and don’t finish them. In the future I will make more like this though. I really enjoyed the stitch pattern!
