Enjoyment Factor: 10

Good Things:

This was the second time I have worked with Malabrigo. It is a great yarn with beautiful color and is very soft for wool. The pattern is simple, but with the wraps and turns, it doesn't get boring.

Bad Things:

Wraps and turns aren't my favorite thing to do and I did had a problem with the number of wraps I had at one end of the scarf compared to the other. But other than that. . . it was fun to knit.

Ugly Things:

Not much to say ugly about this pattern. I loved it!!
