Fisherman's Rib Scarf

 

Fisherman's Rib Scarf

Around 40 years ago I knitted myself a sweater using the Fisherman's Rib stitch.

It was the slowest-growing garment I ever made. 

It seemed to take forever to complete - and I vowed I would never knit such a thing ever in the future !

However, a friend recently asked me to make a scarf for her 'beloved' and of course she was certain that this was exactly what was desired. 

She provided the yarn. And knowing that I was to be a passenger on a long road trip - I took a deep breath and set to. 

Here is my finished scarf. I hope you like it. 

My friend is delighted with it - and I must admit, my time wasn't wasted.
