The quickest scarf I've ever made!
I saw the pattern for this mile-a-minute drop stitch scarf at Turvid's blog and was instantly smitten. She wasn't kidding when she wrote it could be made in a single evening!

I've never knitted a drop stitch pattern before, and there is something very disturbing about just dropping stitches from my needles, without actually knitting them. That being said, this is a very easy and friendly pattern, even for a beginner.

My scarf is knitted with Gjestal's Bris (50% wool, 50% soy) on 7 mm straight needles. 17 stitches gave it a width of ca. 15 cm, and I made it 150 cm long plus 15 cm fringes on either end. I like my scarves really nice and long. ;)

This yarn has a very slow colour shift, so to make the fringes appear more even in colour I made up a technique to make them. If you're interested in the details, they are on <a href="http://madebyeva.blogspot.com/2009/03/mile-minute-scarf.html">this post</a> on my <a href="http://madebyeva.blogspot.com/">blog</a> .
