Of Course I Made Another Scarf

Hiya from a,
It is difficult to top the awesome that was the last r post and I'm not even going to try.  Instead I just have a scarf to show you.  I bought a yarn at the Patons outlet for dirt cheap and it was a striping sock yarn.  The problem was that with crochet I just couldn't get the stripes to go how I would like.  Thus I decided to use the yarn just as yarn and not worry about striping.  On ravelry the designer Quince Tart wrote a pattern called the Sweet Eleanor Scarf.  This is a free pattern and she did an amazing job and everyone who crochets should make this scarf - it comes out beautifully.  Here is the finished project:
I actually love how swimmy and dreamy the colours worked out in the pattern.  I did actually block the scarf a bit (which with the natural curve took a little work) but I just wanted to smooth out the ripples in the fabric a little - just to show off the open work better.  I like it.
See you space cowboy...
