Knitting: Wakefield Scarf

Bless him, Monsieur Gideon obliged when I asked him to pose with my latest knitting project. This scarf really benefitted from a good blocking. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to part with it even though I'm not much of a scarf wearer.

I ripped this thing out four? (five? six?) times before I started getting the hang of it. I never learned the pattern - it's a 12 row repeat - but I did start to understand how the various stitches and yos work. The color is gorgeous and it is super soft.
