Started: Sept 17, 2006
Finished: October 9, 2006
Pattern: Forbes Forest from "Scarfstyle"
Yarn: Knitpicks Merino Style in Nutmeg
Needles: knit on addis US #5 (I've had to add this for my own personal use, I never remember the needle size used.)
Adjustments: No real adjustments done here. I knit till I was out of yarn...6 balls. It really did knit quickly when cabling without a cable needle and making bobbles without turning my work. I worked on socks inbetween to mix things up...but I will always love knitting this scarf.
It is just gorgeous and....another Christmas gift complete!
I am hoping for many FO's this week. I turned the heel on the second rib and cable sock and finished the colourwork on the second canada sock....oh and even cast on for another sock...
SOCKS SOCKS SOCKS!

Gorgeous!
I love it in that color!
Beautiful - the more of these I see popping up on the 'net, the more I want to knit one!
Amazing! That pattern is so beautiful, and looks gorgeous in the nutmeg-colored yarn!
How the heck do you get so much knitting done? I am soo jealous. Beautiful scarf.
I guess if I spent more time knitting and less time reading blogs like yours, I'd get more done, too.
Hmm.
it's absolutely beautiful!
Oh, that's just BEAUTIFUL! Love it. Everything. The color. The stitches. Everything.
It's so beautiful! The pattern in that color looks awesome, congratulations!
ahhhh yes! beautiful! I swear, I'll never get sick of seeing this one pop up across the blogosphere...
great work!
The scarf is just lovely. How do you knit things so fast? I have been knitting for 1 1/2 years and still feel so slow. Do you knit continental?
Wow, that is beautiful in that size. I didn't really like it so much as a scarf, but it looks great as a stole!
Wonderful! I'm curious, how many Christmas gifts are you going to knit? How many done and how many left to go?
Beautiful and luxurious!
Beautiful scarf and I love that colour; that looks like such a terrific knit. Congrats!
Ooh, such a lucious scarf! I wish I were on your Christmas list. I just bought Scarf Style and was admiring this pattern. I do believe I'll to put this on the project list.
Gorgeous! I'm about to start working on a Forbes Forest (also for a Christmas gift), so I'm glad to read you enjoyed knitting it.
Finally delurking to say lovely work and gorgeous color! I did mine in moss and loved the pattern, too. (And you're right--the knitpicks merino style is very nice for the price!)
I think I need to speak to my lawyer. Is it really legal to switch names in the family name pick for xmas gifts?? Lets vote...Just to benefit by way of knitting? Where is my lawyer?? Tom? Mary? Dad... you would not let me switch??
I like that scarf that is the scarf I trade for logo work. Start knitting sister...
Whoever gets that scarf for Christmas is LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY. It's absolutely gorgeous.
How. Are. You. So. Fast???
Sigh. I'm so slow. It's beautiful. And so expedient. Well done you.
Stunning! Man! You knit fast!
I was hesitant to make this scarf because I couldn't really see it in the picture of the book. Now that I know what it looks like, it's definitely going on the knitting queue.
I commented on this post yesterday and went and picked up the mail. My Knit Picks order came...except they sent 5 balls of Merino Style instead of the 5 balls of Elegance I (thought) I ordered. I'll reorder the Elegance, but what to do the Merino Style? You used 6 balls for your scarf, I have 5. The yarn used in Scarf Style requires only 5 balls, but I think there was about 7 or 8 more yards per ball with that yarn. I could gamble that I'll have enough to do the required number of pattern repeats, or I could order a 6th ball from Knit Picks, gambling that they can send the same dye lot. Ah, decisions, decisions.
Your Forbes Forest is incredible. Lovely stitch definition!
Beautiful knitting!
