Pattern: Hattie's Rose Garden, but I call it my Pinecone Scarf as it reminds me of the tiny pinecones in my garden. If you would like a copy of this free pattern, request it by sending an e-mail to: chris at briarrosefibers dot net.
Yarn: Valley Yarns Franklin in the Pinecone colourway. Shades of spruce, cedar and fir, very Pacific Northwesty. This skein was won in Erika's blog contest. It's a sproingy yarn intended for socks, but worked out well for a scarf.
Notes: I reduced the number of repeats by two (8 columns of rosebuds rather
than 10) and used all but .9 of a gram of the Franklin sock yarn (450
yds). The length is 62" and the width 8.5".
Thoughts: this one took a year to complete, a four row pattern that became a bit tedious. You end with dropping stitches a la Clapotis, Why is it that an unintended dropped stitch runs as fast as it can, while those meant to be dropped stick like crazy?
