Branching Out

I've started Knitty's Branching Out scarf using Schoeller Stahl Hobby in a purple color; I think they call it "plum". The purple color doesn't seem to show through in the pictures; I haven't figured out why. Maybe it is the yellow background? Need to figure out how to take better pictures that show pattern detail. This scarf will be a gift for Sara. I always think of her as wearing green or purple, so I chose to make a purple scarf for her.

This is how long the scarf is using almost 1 ball of yarn ... about 17 repeats I think ... and roughly 2.5 ft long (I haven't actually measured it with a ruler)
