It was supposed to be for her birthday last year....then it turned into a fall surprise...then finally a Christmas present. I consider myself a fairly fast knitter, but this scarf took foreeeeever.
I chose a wave cable because it reminded me of my mom's hair when she got married. Loooong, wavy, and gorgeous. The cable itself is one of the easier ones, you alternate directions every 6 rows. This also cable doesn't numb your mind with too much counting and you shouldn't need markers.
Mom
loved her scarf. I used a lama silk yarn so she would be nice and warm
but not itchy. (very important.) Unfortunately, Indiana has been having
one of the warmest winters on record thanks to the La Nina weather
pattern. I don't think she's gotten to use it much. Maybe next year.
