Checkmate

I suppose today is not the best day to discuss scarves seeing as it's 85 degrees in New York City but I was road-tripping to Boston over the weekend and this beautiful checkerboard scarf from the blog Whit's Knits, written by the very talented Whitney, on PurlBee provided much distraction from the boring trip up I-95.


I bought yarn for this project a few weeks ago. The Fibre Company's Canopy is probably one of the most lovely yarns I've ever worked with. I bought three skeins in "Roseship." It's a perfect summer color but now that I see all the new hues on the website I kind of wish I had waited and bought "Purple Passion" or "Macaw" instead.
