Uncurled, she's over six feet (but under two meters) long. The pattern is My So-Called Scarf, worked in neck-friendly Malabrigo Merino in colorway Lime Blue.
To help control shazaaming, I knit from two balls alternately. The technique mostly worked. The scarf began with flattish navy blobs which turned into tallish navy blobs, continued with randomish navy stripes, and finished with roundish navy blobs. Had I used one ball at a time, I suspect there would be significant and ever-changing pooling and flashing.
I've sent the scarf to my pal along with a few goodies – I hope she enjoys them.

Beautiful!
The stitch pattern is great for variegated yarns like the one you chose...I have a big skein of yarn that was gifted to me by my best friend (who doesn't even knit, but who displayed excellent taste by picking Schaeffer Elaine in a perfect-for-me colorway). I think after seeing your So-Called Scarf and a few others, I'm inspired to use that pattern to knit up this special yarn.
I just got my scarf, I love it!!! I can't believe you were at Rhinebeck we could have met, I ventured out that way as well. Thank you so much for all the goodies too. Off to read more of your blog.
