~Living in temperatures that range from 10-12 degrees during the winter requires using oodles of scarves. I wear scarves every day...and usually can be found creating a new scarf or two every season. I started the baktus scarf last year and it was my go to project for sporting events, waiting rooms, and travel. Easy to take along, and mindless knitting.
~This scarf did seem to take forever to knit up, but I am overjoyed with the final product. This is one of those knitting projects, that as soon as I wore it--I wanted to acquire new yarn in different colorways to start another one...CraZy, I know!
(This is the first day wearing the scarf, after trotting the kiddos off to school--17 degrees--ugg)
It is made with Schoppel Wolle from Germany in crazy Zauberball. I adore this wool. The project was made on a size 4 circular needle. I used two colors and alternated every two rows.
~The pattern is on ravelry and is basically a giant triangle. You can equate knitting this to climbing a mountain--once you are at the top or widest point--the decreases are more enjoyable, and it is downhill from there on...
~Now I can start that sublime vest that I have queued up and can finally finish my marathon trouser sewing session for the boys...just sewing the pockets on now...
WOW...and I love your yarn choices...

Such a unique shape with those pointy ends. And the yarn is VERY fun. I can imagine all those colors made it fun to knit.
