I'm so glad to have found this easy cable scarf from the http://stitchdcblog.blogspot.com/!!!I did change it a bit by reversing the first and second rows so that I would be on the knit side for the cable, and I used Lion Brand's Wool Ease Thick 'N Quick yarn instead. I found that one skein is enough for the scarf itself, but had to steal a little bit of yarn from a second skein in order to do the pom poms.
For the pom poms, I used Clover's Extra Large pom pom maker, but if you wanted to leave the pom poms off, it looks very nice without them. I think these scarves will make wonderful holiday presents...Only took me two evenings to knit this up...I did stay with #19 needles and for my cable holder, I used a #13 double pointed needle since that was the biggest one I had...I will be getting Clover's huge cable holder hook shortly to make it easier still to knit the next one.

Jacquie ...I love the scarf ...you are sooo talented!!
It was soooo easy!!! You could do it too!!!
Jacquie,
I love the scarf! You did a great job.
If you take any more pictures, I need something laid next to the scarf to give it perspective. At first, until I read how large your needles were, I thought it was a small, skinny scarf. ;}
You've learned a beautiful new talent.

Sorry alberta Ann...but I just take pictures to take pictures, I guess, and not for the scale...if I were giving lessons, that would be a great idea...but size 19 needles does give a clue...:)
