Knitted gifts

Now that gifts have all been opened, I can post pictures of the scarves that I worked away on in secret through the month of December.This was the one I did for Z. It's in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, a lovely soft wool/cashmere blend. He had requested a yellow scarf and I am really happy about how this turned out. I used a reversible rib, which is essentially K3-P1 repeated endlessly but staggered on either side.

The second scarf was for Alex. Same pattern, but using Rowan Plaid, a discontinued chunky wool. It's a little rough on the skin which is unfortunate for a scarf, but I'll try washing it gently to see if it softens up.
