I've finished Li's scarf from the book, and besides the pooling of the yarn, I like it!
It definitely needs blocking, since the stitch pattern draws it together. It grew a lot with blocking, especially lengthwise. I wanted to use both hanks of this yarn, but it would have been too long in the end.
The colors made funny things on this scarf. I don't like pooling, but what can you do? There's glitter in the yarn, can you see it sparkling (besides the ubiquitous dog hairs)?
pattern: Herringbone Rib Scarf by Li (either from the book "Knitting for Good" by Betsy Greer, or if you ask for it in a comment on her blog)
yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Super Glitz, superwash merino plied with a strand of glitter, DK weight, colorway: Gypsy Rose, 4oz hand , 325yds (I used 1.5 hanks)
needles: 4mm
size after blocking: 7" x 90"
start-finish: Jan. 09-16
This was a fun knit! Thank you Li!

I love the colors. The stitch pattern looks like it would be pretty on either side. Hmm.....more fodder for my Ravelry queue?????
Oh wow, love how colorful it is! Great job
Beautiful scarf. The colors are lovely, and the glitter is such a nice accent. Well done, as usual!
Really cool scarf. I really like the stitch pattern that you used.
Very nice looking scarf. Colours are very pretty. Funny, I didn't see the pooling effect at first, too busy admiring the total scarf.
What a pretty stitch and cheerful colours. Gillian
You're so welcome!
This Scarf looks very nice...and the colors are very pretty!
I love the scarf! It's beautiful.. pooling colours and all! (I actually like the way the colours worked in it)
It's an interesting zigging more than pooling. Looks cute!
I'm not a fan of pooling, but it actually doesn't bother me in this scarf. It's just stunning. The yarn and stitch pattern came together perfectly!
so pretty - the pooling is not a problem to me as like MaureenC I was admiring the scarf!
I am usually not a fan of pooling in general, but I think the pooling in this worked out very well and love the unique/abstract look it gave the scarf.
That's a beautiful scarf!
Wow, super Schal mit einem genialen Muster in einer tollen Farbe. Da glaube ich gerne, dass Dir das Stricken Spaß gemacht hat. Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut-
Oh I love it, and I don't mind the pooling (once I figured out what that was. :)) What a great pattern.
Looks wonderful , very pretty colours and the pooling isn't so bad , kinda looks like the zig zag is supposed to be there .
Love the scarf!
I love the scarf and the colors and the pooling are so great. I guess that would be a nice beginners lace project?
Gorgeous! Good enough to eat with whipped cream!! Sparkly too! Mmmm!
I think this is a lovely scarf. I don't like pooling also but in this case I guess it is not very bad.
The pattern is very nice.
I rather LIKE how the colourways turned out on this scarf, in spite of it doing things you didn't expect. The scarf is lovely, and you've done a great job.

I love how your scarf came out. I went and requested the pattern.
Beautiful...I love the way it pooled, makes it interesting to look at and I bet it was fun to knit :)
