The Hazardous Scarf

Jeez, have I really been gone since January 10?

I guess so. Well, I’ve undertaken a project for my friend Professor Hazard:

…and it’s going a little slower than I’d originally hoped. It is going to be extra sweet, so there’s that.

The stitch pattern is Diagonal Slip Stitch Pattern from a Vogue Knitting Stitch book, which my poor ass happened to find in this sock pattern from MagKnits.

Here’s a detail:

I had wanted it to look more like this. But I think it’s pretty nice the way it is. Hopefully he will like it and stuff. I cast on 68 stitches on US size 7 needles– 16 inch circulars. I’m using four balls of Wool-Ease. (I know, I must have lost my mind. I’m halfway through ball 3.) It’s a long tube, then my required task is to sew up the ends, attach yellow and black fringe, and attach a logo much like the insignia badge from the Prof’s shop. In a pleasing manner.
