Drop Stitch Scarf

One other thing has been keeping me busy this week.
I started a drop stitch scarf on Sunday with the yarn my dh brought me from Vermont. My camera doesn't like the color purple, so the scarf looks much more blue than it really is. It is knitting up very soft, and I'm very happy with it. I'm using size 4 needles (most would use size 6), and I cast on 25 stitches. I knit 6 rows of garter stitch. Then, on the 7th row, I wrap the yarn twice around the needle in between every knitted stitch. On the 8th row, I drop the wraps, making an elongated stitch. Very simple, but I love the way it looks.
