Well I finished my husband's scarf on the morning of his birthday and he really likes it. obviously it's not as pretty as the scarf I made for my gran as he's a bloke and doesn't 'do' pretty lace.
It's a very simple knit that has a pleasing effect and works up real quick. I could have got away with CO 20 stitches with the Robin Chunky I used as the finished item ended up quite wide but husband seems to like that. The pattern is called Jute Rope and is by Rebecca Sweinhagen, I also didn't use the recommended needle size as thought the knitted fabric would have ended up far to stiff, so I used 8mm needles. This also helped with the speed of the project.

Your scarf turned out beautiful! It's nice to see someone else's version of it. The color is scrumptious.

Thank you, just a shame the husband has never worn it (says it's too bulky). Hmm perhaps I should have it then :-)
