Timm's Scarf - Progress

I'm almost half way done with Timm's scarf! The first leg is done, the second leg is yet to come, and I've had long conversations with Timm about what happens in the middle. In the end, all he wanted was a surprise. Silly man. Alas, this is me, withholding information while also trying to explain that I'm working on it. I tried out a few different ideas, and I've finally come to a solution that I think works best for the yarn and the design. I hope it turns out to be an interesting (and surprising) transition from one leg to the next.

Timmy's Braided Scarf

I barely finish one project and I'm already on to the next. My friend, Timmy, has been waiting a good long while for this scarf and I'm just getting started! I know this looks small. You'd be right. It's only about 7 inches long and 5 inches wide. It will both widen and lengthen as I work on it, and after I block it.

As you can see from the enlarged photos, the yarn is fuzzy. This fuzzy is really nice when you're wearing it, but not when you're trying to pick out a pattern. After restarting 12 times, I've finally settled on the Braided Cable Scarf. I'm enjoying working on it, and it will make a very warm scarf. Timm will always say that he likes it. He's a "It's the thought and the effort that counts" kinda guy, but I hope he really does like it.
