My scarf! Mine mine mine. The pattern is the Bryher cable scarf again. The yarn is Cleckheaton Country Naturals 8ply in a lovely dark blue. The photo below is probably the most colour-accurate.
The yarn seemed drapey and soft, but I worried that I was forcing it to be chunky and stiff by knitting it double stranded on 6.5mm needles. I thought about going up a size but decided to trust the blocking. And it worked, once washed and dried the scarf became softer and drapier just like I had hoped. I completely used 2 balls and it is only just the right length.
The buttons are a pair of very special wooden beads which have been waiting for just the right project. My sister sent them to me a few years ago and I have always loved them.

I love it! Just beautiful. I think that colour blue really suits you.
Gorgeous. You are very clever. Isn't it nice to knit with? I used the same colour for the mistake rib scarf I made for my neighbour.
It looks quite cozy and soft. And great buttons. I never paid much attention to buttons but you have gotten me into the habit of looking at them in the stores and at flea markets.
