My wisteria tree is so pretty this time of year, I couldn’t resist using it as the backdrop for my completed Backyard Leaves scarf.

I finished the scarf on Sunday evening, sewed the two halves together, and weaved in the ends. This project went really fast - one week from start to finish! Why can’t every project be like this? I plan to give the scarf a light steam blocking before sending it off to the recipient, then it’s time to start finishing my other projects before I become tempted to start something new.

Backyard Leaves in Review:
Pattern: Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style
Yarn: Karabella Aurora 8, in Periwinkle (24) [I think that’s the right color]
Needles: Lantern Moon Rosewood, size 8, because I wanted to knit this on short straight needles, and those are the only ones I own!
Modifications: None
Thoughts: Have I mentioned that I adore this pattern? So simple, yet not at all boring to knit, and the end result is fabulous. The 20 row repeat isn’t exactly memorizeable, although I only had to refer to the chart on a few of the rows that didn’t intuitively follow the rest of the pattern (the two or three rows following the leaf tips)
