I actually finished something for me recently. Actually, this is the time of year when I get a little me-centric with my knitting - the gift stuff is mostly done, so start thinking about ME!
Me knitting is usually sweaters (and there is one in progress - I'm just working out some logistical details on it...) but I started this scarf with someone else in mind, but once it was done, I decided to keep it for myself. It;s the Hitchhiker scarf, and it's one of those rare things - a garter knit scarf with shaping and flair. I can't remember where I first saw it, but I really liked it - enough to buy the pattern. It's straight garter stitch, and once you get the pattern, it's so easy - you don't even need to refer to the pattern. I used two balls of Knit Picks Chroma Worsted, in the Mesa colourway, and while it's not my typical colours, it's really pretty!
I can see making more of these for the gift box...

I like how the stripes changed sizes as you went along. Very pretty.
Very gorgeous. I like the genius of the pattern - when you wrap it, you add coverage but you don't add layers of bulk.
That's gorgeous! Reminds me of this one I saw on Ravelry and would love to make: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/weavrmom/tuch-shawl-lazykaty it's a machine knit version of a handknit pattern; there are many other gorgeous patterns by the same designer with a similar shape
I Love it. And have some scarf yarn waiting for inspiration. Thanks for the link.
The scarf is lovely. I have added gthe pattern to my queue.
Cool!
Oooh! neat!
What a cool scarf! And, it's for you! How exciting! Seems like you're always making things for other people and never you. Enjoy! I'm going to look for that pattern too. I like the shape and how it wraps.
Oh wow! I like that! I have two balls of that color way too. Was wondering how tht knit up. Love it!
ps- Do you put your projects on Ravelry?
