marshmallow fluff scarf


Marshmallow Fluff Scarf

This is the scarf that started it all. I knitted my mother-in-law this squishy cable scarf for Christmas and developed a cream cable obsession. 

The yarn (Cascade 128 Superwash) was a treat to work with. So soft it felt like knitting with spun sugar. The needles slid smoothly, making effortless cables. The bulky weight and size 11 needles made for quick knitting. Maybe a little too quick because I soon added more cream cables to my needles (see my cowl, hat, and mittens...er...mitten). 




Details about the Marshmallow Fluff Scarf.

Free pattern--simple enough for a cable newbie.

I hope you're having a good weekend and keeping warm. Louisville has not been a marshmallow world for even a day this winter, but we're finally experiencing a real cold snap. It has been bitterly cold this week, making for some eye-stinging waits at the bus stop. To reward myself for bearing the cold mornings, I've been starting each work day a little slower. I spend a few minutes sipping hot peppermint tea and studying for my new job. This little ritual carries a sense of calm through the rest of my day (at least until I have to battle the brisk weather again). Stay warm, friends!

  1. Love the scarf - this would have been ideal here in the UK as we have had a lot of the white stuff recently!

    I also love Marshmallow Fluff, it isnt readily available here so when I do spot it I tend to buy a few jars - same goes for canned pumpkin.

  3. Your scarf is so cozy looking ... perfect for the cold snap we're having in NY, too ... finally! Glad to hear that you like Cascade 128 superwash as I just got four skeins in charcoal and am itching to cast it on.
