New Year's Scarf Swap

well...i never had any real ambition to start a blog but this seems to be the best way to put up a new pattern...so here goes...

started knitting a scarf for a new year's scarf swap on ravelry and i had adapted a cable from some really cool fingerless gloves for a matching scarf...i wanted to share the pattern in case anyone else wanted a scarf to complement their gloves...so here it is!

i'll post pictures later after i get them on my puter.
