I finally finished my Montego Bay Scarf. Even though I have seen alot of people post about how this pattern was mindless knitting, I had quite a bit of trouble with it. I probably knitted it three times, I ripped it out four times and tinked back constantly. I really had to keep track of the rows and for the first half, had to count the stitches after every row I completed. I think I kept skipping YO's and that threw the pattern off.
I am really glad I finished it, though I felt like throwing it a few times. I learned the pattern well by the time I was about half way done with it. I learned how to find the mistakes and fix them without ripping back.
I love the color and the yarn. Specs-Montego Bay Scarf

I love the scarf .... and everything looks better when it's modeled by a cute little baby.

I found you through the Knitty-a-long. Your Montego Bay Scarf is the prettiest I've seen yet. I love the way the color changes work with that pattern.
Touche!
