I have managed to take *and* upload photos of knitting, as well as woven in the ends on the scarf. They're up on Ravelry (for people on there who don't know this, I am, perhaps unsurprisingly, Jenett, and you can see them on the project page there: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Jenett)
But there might as well be photos here, too:
This is a scarf done in alternating double rows (one knit, one purl) alternating Noro Silk Garden #8 (which is blues and greens and purples) with a really really dark navy worsted wool. It's about 5 feet long, and about 8 inches wide.
And this is the shawl in progress, using a pattern that starts from the neck down (so the stuff you see at the bottom of this photo will eventually be the long flat edge, and the point is going to come from what's currently at the center of the needles.) I am currently at 76 rows and not yet done with the first skein of yarn (which was 420 yard to the skein), so I am currently planning to on for a fair bit, and make a gloriously huge and drapy shawl.
This is the Spinel yarn from Blue Moon Fiber Arts - it really is lovely to knit with, and very pleasant to touch, and will be cozy and comfy when done (and quite comfortable on bare skin, if like me, you don't have wool-related allergies.) You can see why I like the color dappling effect.
At 76 rows (where I am right now), it's about 18 inches from top to point, unblocked, and I expect it to gain some in the blocking.
I'm doing this in a numeric pattern: double rows based on Pagan-relevant numbers. (Well, I skipped 9, but 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, and I think I'm going to do 13, because I've got the yarn for it, and it should get me to about the size I want. Going through 12 is going to be 90 rows. We're adding 4 stitches every other row, so that's roughly 180 stitches across at 90 rows, and will be 232 across if I go through 13s.)
I have a plan to do one of the sets of yarn coming sometime sooner than later in a reverse Fibonacci sequence using the same basic pattern (reverse, because if I'm doing 42 rows of something, I'd rather it were shorter rows than longer. 42, 26, 16, 10, 3, 4, 2, 2)
(The numbers have to be doubled, because the pattern requires even pairs of rows so you don't end up with odd wrong side/right side problems.)
