That maybe a question some of you are asking now. Here are a couple of the finished scarf photos:
CB loves the scarf. He wore it out the first day that I declared the scarf was dry. (I left it alone for two days just in case. Cool temperature, you know.)
Thanks to Ravelry, I do have some data to share with you. But not the precise starting date though. Guess I’ll have to remember to type that in myself for future projects.

I decided to just do the usual knit two slip one over and off the needle bind-off. I did test the couple of bind-off methods that I mentioned in an earlier post, but I wasn’t satisfied with the results. Got tired of looking for another solution, and just did the usual and did it tightly. However, I should have knitted on a knit stitch and purled on a purl stitch. The bind-off looks OK. But it could’ve looked neater if I’ve done it properly.
CB likes the extra long length. It is also soft to the skin. I think I’ll make mine about that long, too. I like to wrap a scarf around a few times to stay extra warm. 
Question is, do I start now or next Fall? 
Oh, the weather is now dry, too. We sure had an extra wet weekend though!
