Pro: Repetitive, easy to knit while talking/watching TV/in a meeting...
Con: Repetitive, BORING, especially when you realize that it needs to get done by a deadline, and you're less than halfway through.
Pro: Cuddly, you can wear it while you're knitting!
Con: Will it ever be long enough?
Pro: Cute! I love the pattern!
Con: I get tired of the same ol' pattern...
It's this interesting? It is knit on the diagonal, yet when you lay it out (for blocking) it makes a nice honeycomb/waffle square pattern. ahem....and easy to spot a mistake in the middle, while blocking...
Pattern: 19th-Century Honeycomb Stitch Scarf by Diana Foster, from Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders
Yarn: Footprints by Blue Ridge Yarns, Fingering/4 ply, 100% merino, 400 yds.
(I bought this thinking it was going to be socks, then I realized with no nylon, it wouldn't be MY socks! It comes in two parts: One is what you see above, and the other is 30g of a dark green, almost solid, meant to be toes and heels. I, unquestionably, thought it would be something strong like nylon. Not.)
Those pros and cons are very well put. Every knitters' thoughts exactly.
