I
Just finished knitting this scarf except for the blocking. It doesn't get cold here in Birmingham until November so I have time.
This is the first hat I've ever knitted (which I finished earlier this year), and the first scarf I've knitted since I was a kid. It's the first scarf I've made that's not a simple garter stitch.
The best part about knitting a simple scarf to me is that you don't have to have a lot of time or focus when you sit down to knit. Getting to a good stopping point only takes a minute or two so you can knit in that off moment when you're waiting somewhere or while you're watching TV. It can keep you productive.
I want to make this scarf again. Next time I'll make it wider, like it is in the Clarendon pattern from this book, Simple Hip Knit Scarves, and also weave yarn through the holes and make a fringe at each end.
