Farrow Rib Scarf

4th Try Is a Charm for this yarn. I had started three other scarves and ripped them out because they just didn't look good or weren't a simple knitting pattern I could zone out with. I needed something easy to knit and this pattern is repetitive and I can totally zen out while knitting.

repeat until you are done.
It’s finished and I love it. I used one whole skein and a little bit of a second skein that I had left over from a dumpling bag. It is long enough - squishy, warm and fuzzy. LOVE!
The pattern is called Farrow Rib Scarf by Melissa Matthay and Sheryl Thies from the "Little Box of Scarves" book. I used US size 10½ straight needles. These were one size I did not have in my huge grandma needle stash so I bought some cheapy Boye needles on sale at Joann. I actually find I prefer the cheap metal needles over bamboo, circulars, and other fancier ones. I don't clack when I knit. I do hold the needles perpendicular to each other and the right needle in my waist. Thus I prefer straights.
The yarn is a lovely chunky weight with long color changes. It is designed by Kaffe Fasset and called Rowan Colourscape Chunky. I used about 1.2 skeins = 210.0 yards (192.0m) and it was purchased last year at Cast-On Cottage & Needlepoint Garden in Roswell, Georgia.
It is long enough - squishy, warm and fuzzy. LOVE!
