Man Skills Scarf

JFC has an obsession...obtaining more of those coveted Man Skills. He realized about a year or so a go when discussing the matter with his friends, that he just didn't have many man skills...especially compared to the men of yester-year. From that moment it has become his quest to learn manly skills, such as fixing the car, chopping wood, starting a fire (and i am talking about a long burning very carefully attended to fire), building things, fixing household items and so on so on so on...all the way to just having a good sense of direction.

So when JFC hinted at the fact that he was expecting a new scarf soon (as he is under the impression he gets one every year), I wanted to do something with a little more pizz-azz then years past. Mainly just to save me from the boring task of plain scarf knitting. So I decided to incorporate a stitch pattern, but it had to be something manly, so that JFC could perform all of his man skill tasks in true man skills style. I decided to go with a nice bulky natural new zealand wool in a chocolate brown and used a stitch pattern that looks like a flat oversized cable. Worked on size US 9 needles, it went by quickly and painlessly, and now JFC is nice and snug while chopping wood for our fire.
