I have a weakness for bright spring green. It is not the best color to wear near my face, but I do anyway once in a while. I can get very stubborn that way at times. But it is a great accent color for both home and wardrobe.
I had been eyeing a particular bit of green yarn at my LYS for some months when I finally broke down and bought some in late April. I started knitting it right away but somehow made very slow progress. I would knit and unknit and knit again. I think I was just suffering from the general stress and turmoil in my house. It seems like a month is a long time for a scarf; it feels like it took me forever.
This week however I was knitting like a woman possessed. A week ago I had just finished knitting the first skein, the scarf was only half done, and I felt like it would never end.
Yarn: Aslan Trends Royal Alpaca, 2 skeins.
Needle Size: 7 (US)
Pattern: 4 stitch repeat of K2, YO, K2Tog, bound by garter stitch panels on the side and ends. My scarf is 48 stitches wide, decided simply because that was the width that pleased me.

I love your green monitor! It’s a colour close to the interior downstairs walls through my place — Benjamin Moore’s Dill Pickle — surprisingly easy to live with for such a strong colour.
And your scarf looks great — all that alpaca yumminess to cheery you in the spring and to keep you really warm when tied more tightly through the winter.
It’s spring flower green! So pretty…
Those stitches are absolutely perfect. I love the color!
What a perfect color for you. You look great and more relaxed! Glad the stress is somewhat melting for you.
A late Birthday Greeting to your husband : )!!
So beautiful, Mardel–and I think you look lovely in green!
Am I seeing things or is the edge of your monitor also spring green?
