Marianna snapped this photo of me knitting. This is my very first scarf for a guy, girl scarves I have cranked out for years and years, woven and knitted and even finger crocheted, the later is a terrific way to show off specialty yarns actually.



But for this very first guy scarf I had to really think long and hard about how to make an item of clothing that my uncle might actually wear. I wanted something he could wear either with his going to work suits or his Rockies jackets and I think this fits the bill. I chose a soft cotton in black and worked it in basketweave, one of my favorite stitches, for a subtle pattern that is fun to knit.
