Dance of the FO Fairy

Ruffles has been finished for a few weeks, now. I absolutely adore it and wear it every where. It looks purty and cute, on. By the time I was done with it, I was completely sick of short rows.

So, of course, the next project I decided to tackle was the Lady Eleanor entrelac stole from ScarfStyle. Apparently, this is the Winter of Projects that Don't Get Longer.

I'm also nearly finished with the World's Easiest Gift Scarf. (Yes, that's an exaggeration. The easiest thing to do would be to buy something.) You cast on the length instead of the width, and it's very simple.

World's Easiest Gift Scarf

The simple vertical construction and large needle sizes make this a quick scarf to knit up. The dropped-stitch detail, color and needle size changes, and stitch-pattern variation give it a deceptively complex look.
