This is knit from Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted Wt. Cranberry.
The pattern is from the book mentioned in Thursdays post: Cables Untangled: it is called the "his/hers reversible scarf".
It took me 7 froggings to get this finally right. Switching from the smaller to the larger needles and using the cable needle kept throwing me off!! I didn't lose it! NO gritting of teeth or throwing balls of yarn across the room, and am quite pleased.
This pattern suggests #7 & 9 straight needles, I couldn't find mine, so used #8 & #10 us. I think I kept my patience because it was at the beginning when I messed up most times.
I am going to call it Marty's Scarf. Marty, my nephew will be celebrating a birthday a few days before Christmas. I always feel bad because I forget about his birthday most years, concentrating on gifts for Christmas. He turns 36, this year! I think? YIKES!

Happy Birthday to Marty. It looks like it will be a very good year for him. This beautiful scarf from his Auntie will take the bite out of winter.
