Here we have Smokey helping Bear cat model a scarf I knit for one of my girlfriends. She will likely see this post before she gets the package, but I can't stand to wait any longer. *Note: Smokey is growing his hair out for locks of love and is almost there. He says he can't wait to shave his head. Here he is sporting the act of breaking his own rule: long hair OR beard, because he is too lazy to shave and it's super cold here now.
I originally tried to knit this as a birthday gift, but the pattern and yarn were uncooperative. I unknit this piece several times in an effort to get a good balance of width and length. I actually think it is going to work better as a headband than as a scarf. Luckily the giftee has lovely hair that will look great tied back with this. The piece is loosely based on a scarf (worn as a headband) in a fantastic book, Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, that we both own.
