I finished the Misty Garden scarf yesterday afternoon, after splicing on the last ball mere hours earlier. It’s a fairly easy knit, other than keeping an eye out that the mohair stitches don’t get dropped accidentally.
I’ve not been much of a mohair fan, but the colors of this Rare Comfort Infusion are simply beautiful. There was a noticeable difference in one of the balls — despite being the same dye-lot — in that the mossy green lengths were much shorter, working into a mere stitch or two, instead of three or even four. The other two balls were closer to the photograph in the "Scarf Style" book. The Old Shale pattern is a very good choice for this yarn — stitch definition tends to disappear in the mohair, but the ripples enhance the colors and the odd row of garter not only keeps the scarf from curling, but gives the mohair another element of volume in addition to the natural haze.
(I’m not happy with the photos — don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but the focus rarely pleases me. Will try again later — it’s starting to rain.)
