Ruby Submarine: Firestarter Scarf

It's been a beautiful, warm fall so far in Chicago, but we have had a couple of chilly days. One of those days, I headed to Rosehill Cemetery with Allyson to shoot my new pattern, Firestarter Scarf.

I was very glad to have this cozy scarf, sitting on cold marble, while Allyson took photos. I love this thing.

Firestarter is a reversible, fast, simple (just increases and short rows), fun garter stitch knit. Big needles, simple shaping, and a dramatic edging give it a nice balance of mindless knitting and fun technique.

The short-row edging flies by, and you don't have to knit the wraps together with the stitches in this pattern! It's a time saver and gives the edging a more open, light look.
