One blind dragon!
I just have to sort out his eyes and his "snort" - i'll do that when the second scarf is finished though ;o)
All in all the scarf came out pretty well - i had to rewrite the pattern though in a way that i could keep track of it which was a bit of a pain, especially as i had to do it twice because the first time i crossed off the rows in pen DOH!!
I love the spikes, they way they are formed is ingenious!
It came as a kit from Morehouse Merino, via a destash on CTnY ;o) but as the scarves are for small boys i wanted to knit them in a machine washable/tumble dry safe wool. I actually really struggled to find something suitable in the right colour, it has to be Welsh Dragon red you see and not many superwash wools come in such vibrant colours. I settled on Hayfield Bonus Aran but i'm still not very happy with the choice as it's a little squeaky and i wanted something soft and snuggly :o(
Still, they are boys, they won't care!! Hopefully they won't even notice that the spikes have gone wonky in several places because i kept moving the centre stitch out by one stitch! ::rolls eys::

Oh that is a wonderful scarf. If only they sold the pattern separately!
