In her profile for Ravelry (an online knitting community), my friend described her favorite colors as: "green, green, blue-purple, and did I mention green?" Scarf 14 was inspired by her unapologetic love for this most amiable color. Green is the color of new growth - so fitting for this project of mine involving so much personal growth. It is the first sign of spring poking through the muck of winter. Hello, green!
Lest this scarf take us into leprechaun territory, I mixed the bright Kelly Green (hey, my color!) with a variegated green & brown. It's still mostly green - the brown sneaks in through little dark stripes and subtler, lighter stretches - but it feels more appropriate for fall and winter. It will still perk you up on a dark day, but will actually go with your winter wardrobe.
Speaking of growth, don't you just love how the scarf grows from this tangle of yarns to the soft and suave accessory pictured above?
Scarf 14 was sold in my Etsy shop. It's going to be an early birthday present for someone who loves scarves and all things green. You can just imagine how happy that makes me.

Scarf 14 is my favourite, I'll be looking out for another green one!
Hi Bridey - I'm so glad you like it! I take extensive notes as I'm creating each scarf so that I'm able to recreate it. If you'd like one just like Scarf 14, I'd be happy to make it for you, or I could make one to your specs. And I'll definitely stay on the lookout for more yummy green yarn! :)
