So I had been knitting all these scarves for other people. I wanted one for myself. I found a pattern online called the Irish Hiking Scarf that used cables. I decided to give it a try. I thought that cables would be really hard, so I had been reluctant to give it a try, but I'm so glad that I did. They weren't really that difficult after all and I love how this scarf turned out.
I love it even more because of the yarn that I used. On the Knittinghelp.com forum, people were talking about this yarn that they called Mmmmmmmalabrigo and they were raving about how nice and wonderful and soft it was. I found some on eBay and bought two skeins in pink frost. I just knew that this yarn and the Irish Hiking Scarf pattern would be perfect together.
I worked on this over a period of several months, doing a little here and there between other projects. And one day I finally finished it. I was so right about the yarn and pattern. It looks so wonderful and it truly is extremely soft. I'm very proud to have this scarf to wear.

Hi Karen!
This is a gorgeous scarf. I know that this is an old post for you. I found the scarf pattern online. Can you tell me if you used worsted weight?
Thanks!
