I couldn’t resist posting a sneaky peek of this cabled scarf (unfinished), I love the way it drapes around the neck like a soft collar. I am sorely tempted to make another for myself in some Debbie Bliss Andes I’ve been saving for a sweater vest. I’m still in two minds about the button closure, “J” (for whom this scarf has been designed), chose a hand turned wooden button by Jane Cummins which will be just perfect. I want to make sure the placement does both the scarf and the button justice so there’s a bit more swatching and experimenting to be done before I can bind off.

But… it has been a joy  to knit and I only hope the recipient is equally pleased with his commission!
