This is the scarf that started the Danica revolution on Craftster. It’s the finished knit I’m most proud of. It’s made of the beautiful Paton’s SWS in Natural Earth. I used around three balls, and it reaches around my hips, which I’d say is a pretty good scarf length.
The second Danica I knit was a gift for Yale. I actually started it before my other one XD. I just finished it, and it’s probably warming his neck as I type this.
This one was based on a scarf from the Anthropologie catologue, (I’d link to it, but I think their page is defunct by now). It was knit sideways, which made i go by so fast. I love this scarf, it’s so soft, and probably the one I wear the most often.

This is totally gorgeous! I found the pattern on Knitty and am dying to try it. I am floundering with the entrelac technique, however. I knit left-handed (using the working needle in my left hand only). I get a good start, and then I have problems figuring out how to do the center part. Any suggestions???

Hmmm…. I don’t know a lot about left handed knitting, but I think in the centre square you’d still be picking up 10 stitches.
I don’t know how you’d convert the decreases though
If you have a Craftster account, maybe you could ask for tips on the knitalong?

How did you knit that pattern in the last scarf?
the two danica’s are GORGEOUS!!!! how long did they each take?

The purple scarf was knitted lengthwise in a k2p2 rib. It’s very simple, but I think it looks great.
The first Danica only took a few weeks, the second one took considerably longer because I put it on hold while I knit the first one:P

What needles did you use for the purple scarf?

I really love your Danicas! Your entrelac looks so neat. Did you use a slip stitch edge when making your triangles/squares? I’d be grateful for your advice on how to make the edges/borders so neat–I haven’t tried entrelac yet but want to now that I’ve seen yours. I love your shrug pattern too! Keep up the lovely work.

Yes I slipped the first stitch on each square. It makes picking up stitches much easier.
