Knitting ~ Crazy Fair Isle Scarf in Creations

I saw this very cool scarf on Pinterest about a year ago ~

I immediately wanted to make one myself, but didn't have a lot of experience with Fair Isle and thought to myself, Self, that's going to take a hell of a lot of time. I decided to go for it anyway and began the scarf, knitting for awhile and then putting it aside because it got tedious. I finally finished it up when I was laid up with my broken ankle. This is my version of the scarf. A little less refined than the one on Pinterest ~

The scarf is began with a provisional cast on, knitted in the round, and using various Fair Isle motifs until you get to the desired length. I used only black and white yarn (Berroco Comfort DK), but you could easily do the same thing with other colors or more variety of color.

This took hours and hours of knitting and no small amount of money to complete. I'll probably never wear it because it is quite warm. I've put far too much time and money into the project to give it away, only for it to end up in a yard sale or Goodwill bin, so it will just be there for me to admire and wear if I ever go anywhere cold.
