I really admire the color gradation and color blending that you did! It's very handsome.

This is very elegant with all the subtle color gradations and the diamonds that wiggle a bit rather than the usually expected straight form. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone!

I love this draft. It has lots of long floats in warp and weft, but this particular weft yarn is very sticky (I wouldn't even TRY to put it in a boat shuttle) and so it holds it together quite well. I don't know that I would want to try it with smoother weft without throwing in tabby shots.

I'd love to claim credit for the color gradation, but that's all in the weft yarn too: Lion Brand Amazing. This particular colorway is called Olympia and I quite like it for gifts for guys, since it doesn't come out looking remotely frou-frou or too "crafty". :-)

Notes

This scarf is for my dad's birthday.  It's a bit shorter than I anticipated (monumentally stupid warping error on my part) but Dad says that's ok, he's a one-wrapper anyways. Hahaha!
