The Husband sweater is far too big to tuck in a bag for commuter and work knitting, so I've been working on a few other projects midweek. Friday afternoon while the IT guy worked on my computer, I finished the first half of a Backyard Leaves scarf. The yarn is Brooks Farm Four Play I bought at Kid n Ewe. It's a little hard to photograph accurately, but it's a gorgeous sprucey green semi solid. I love it. I can't wait to start the second half. I impatiently bought Scarf Style

yours looks so gorgeous. i love that yarn and color.

That's beautiful! My friend is making that now - I may have to have one after the holidays - it's been on my make list for a while too.

great scarf. i agree some patterns need to be held off until the right time. i tried to knit this scarf when i just learned to knit and stopped... after a few other projects under the belt i went back to it and am happier with the result! your's is beautiful!

that's the perfect color for this pattern, imho. the scarf looks great so far...nice definition on the leaves.

i agree with olga ... that is the perfect color for this scarf. that pattern is so much fun to knit. i'm thinking about making another one someday, as the first one i knit was tragically lost.

Super cute. I know how fab the yarn is, I can't wait to start something with mine.

Totally yummy - the yarn is perfectly semi-solid without being distracting. I wish that I had bought some of the solid Four Play before you people descended like wolves!

Absolutely gorgeous and the color of the yarn is perfect!

I'm so glad you posted photos of it! I've been staring at my slightly different green yarn and wondering if it was going to have repeats of the lighter green, wondering how it was going to look, wanting to make the right sweater pattern with it. Seeing yours makes me want to go and cast on TODAY. Too bad I have to pack instead!
Pssst... can you e-mail me your mailing address? Pretty please? :-D

That yarn is perfect for Backyard Leaves! I've just finished a shawl for my sister using some Brooks Farm. It's lovely yarn.
