OK…now it’s time for another project. (Like I didn’t already have enough to work on!)
The Irish Hiking Scarf. I was going to make it with Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk, but that was too thin. So, I looked through my stash and found some skeins of Lion Brand Chunky USA that I got for half price at Hancock Fabrics one day. Perfect for the scarf!
That will be a beautiful winter white scarf! Can’t wait to see the FO.
Its soo pretty!! Can’t wait to see it when its done!!

It’s looking great! It’s one I have on my to-knit list!
I love, love the Irish hiking scarf :happydance: :cheering: :happydance: I also have it on my long to do list 
Looks great - I like how well the cables show up on the cream color. Like many others - this is also on my to-long-to-do-list!
It’s looking great! Isn’t it a fun and easy pattern?
That looks so pretty!! One of these days, I’m gonna have to learn to do cables!
Pretty, pretty!
We must have gone to the same sale! I bought all they had (12 black and 14 Forest Green) of that same yarn @ 60cents a skein. Haven’t been able to figure out what to do with it though. 
The IHS in the Chunky looks great. Would that be a good project to learn cables? BTW, what size needles did you choose?

The Irish Hiking Scarf looks fabulous in that yarn. I made the scarf in baby alpaca and love it. But I think the cable pattern looks much more striking in your yarn. Love the color too!
What a coincidence! I started working on this last night in Woolease in gray. It’s my first time knitting cables and whoever asked if this is a good project to learn cable knitting on, the answer is YES! :happydance:
Now I think I need to go to the yarn store to get a chunkier yarn though, because I really, really love how yours is turning out! And the color is fabulous too!
I know I’ll be knitting another one. I think this pattern would make a lovely gift.
Oh yes, thanks to Amy, who gave me the confidence to do cables!
This is MY first cable project, and it is WAY EASY, so there’s your answer.
I changed to size 8 needles with the chunky yarn. (The pattern calls for size 6 with worsted weight.)
Thank you!
Please post progress pics. Wow, try to say that fast 5 times. :lol:
That scarf looks lovely, I’d love to see your progess too! How’s it going?
Cabling is my new favourite stitch 
I keep carrying my scarf with me, so I can finish it before fall. I’m using the bag that Tammy gave me during the yarn swap! 
By the way, I was wrong earlier about the size needles I’m using. They are size 10 1/2. How in the world did I get size 8 out of that? :??
