I’ve finished the first end of the EG. The pattern says to start with a waste yarn cast on, knit the middle section and one tail, then pick up the open cast on stitches and knit the last tail. As I have barely enough yarn and I want to make the scarf as long as possible, I wanted to know exactly how much yarn a tail needs (10.1 g, it turns out) so I can continue with centre until I have just enough left for the second tail. I took a picture of the first tail before picking up the cast on. It’s pinned out but not stretched for proper blocking.

beautiful work and such a great idea! I think I may be more interested in completing it if I start by doing an end, then knitting the rest onto it. Gorgeous dyed yarn, your mama’s lucky.

Very pretty, Jenny – both the color and the pattern.

Oh it’s so beautiful, but I have to admit that the pattern still intimidates me. :)
