The next scarf

September's scarf for October knitting arrived long before I was ready to tackle its challenge. Which is good because it gave me some time to think about it. The finished product does not look like something I'd choose to make. Its called the Squiggle Scarf and the pattern wants you to cast on and bind off every first and second row of a four row pattern repeat. It makes some squiggly things on each edge. Hmmm

As disinterested as I am about knitting this scarf, being part of this scarf club is not about knitting scarves that I will love to wear, or knitting patterns I would like to knit, its about accepting a new challenge each month and learning new techniques precisely because I am knitting something that I did not choose to knit. Its about growth in the craft. And besides, I'm sure there will be someone who likes this scarf when its finished.

The yarn provided for the scarf is Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Superwash 100& wool in a deep red. 218 yards of your basic, work-horse, sweater yarn.

Now the challenge (self-imposed) is to try to catch back up and get this done in the half month of October that is left so I can start fresh with November's project.
