I have completed the Zach Scarf (one of Jade Sapphire's 7 Manly Scarf patterns) for Lawrence's upcoming birthday. It is about 6.5 inches wide and 70 inches long. It turned out a little narrower than I wanted, but it was only 30 sts across and knit up nicely. Making the scarf a little wider would have resulted in a shorter scarf, and I think Lawrence will be pleased with the final result. He will also have a small non-wool gift in addition to receiving a wool scarf in July. I enjoyed the opportunity to use my Namaste size 8 glass needles. Namaste no longer makes these needles and I bought the smallest size they made. These needles are a lovely change of pace for me, especially with some soft hand-dyed hand-spun yarn.
Beautiful! I love how the color changes and gradation.

Gorgeous colors & that is quick for such a long scarf. I usually takes a long time to knit a scarf.
