Scarves

Well I say "scarves," but it should really read "scarf" because only one is finished. I have been eyeing the blue/gold yarn at Hearthstone for months, finally decided the other day to buy it and the pink. I CO 26 st on size 10 needles and did a simple 2x2 rib, slipping first stitch on each row, and knitting the last stitch to get a nice clean edge. The yarn is Magallanes 100% wool, hand dyed by Araucania yarns from Chile. I was thinking of doing the pink scarf in maybe a mock cable pattern instead, but I think the yarn is interesting enough w/o any fancy stitch work.
