Twice!
Hi everyone,
Well, I finished my Backyard Leaves scarf from the book, and I love it! I have a question for all you Backyard Leaves knitters - do you think it's weird that without hesitation I wanted to make my scarf pink or red or rose? As far as I can tell, all of you made your BL scarves in green shades... I love this scarf and pattern so much, that I'm going to make another one for a friend! Do you think this one will be green? ;) Nope, it will be raspberry-colored! Here are the pictures:
More details about yarn, finished size, blocking, etc., can be found on my website.
I'll keep you updated on the progress of my second Backyard Leaves.

You must be a glutton for punishment. I'm enjoying my second half of backyard leaves MUCH more. My next project is to finish the blizzard shawl, then to do the ever famous clapotis!! I think finding a variegated yarn with autumn colors would be nice for this one. Combination of oranges, yellows, reds, greens and browns. Maybe a Noro yarn?

It looks great. I love the raspberry color. I made mine green because I had leftover yarn from another project. And I love green. :)

I'm so happy to see that you girls are making it in non-green! Chocolate brown, pink, rose, raspberry, I dig it all!
By the way, it's not that I have anything against green, other than it matches my skin and makes me look even more pale and sickly-looking than I already am :-P. Oh, and I love all colors in the "red" family. The choice was clear!

I love the ends! I had no idea that the scarf did that, and that alone makes me want to knit it.
