Rhinebeck Teaser ...

Woodsmoke Scarf

Jared Flood's Woodsmoke Scarf (Rav link) from Brave New Knits.

I knew as soon as I saw the photo of this scarf over at Brooklyn Tweed that I needed to knit it. It's a fun pattern ~ super easy, with a short 8-row lace pattern that's easily memorized. This was the project I took to kids soccer games and other activities.

I knitted 24 garter ridges in the body instead of the 16 called for in the pattern, because I like wider scarves. Even so, I used less than a ball of yarn for the body, and less than half a ball for the lace edging.

Yarn: One skein each of Spirit Trail Fiberworks' Sunna in Piney Woods for the body and Shadows & Light for the edging
Needles: US Size 6

If you're coming to Rhinebeck, stop by the booth and check it out. It's really a pretty scarf.

Stay tuned. Monday or Tuesday I'll post photos of some of the new rovings I have ready for Rhinebeck!
