Fickle fingers scarf finished

Just in time for the spring weather I finished a cosy woollen scarf! It is the Fickle Fingers scarf from Interweave Knits magazine Winter 2005 with a couple of modifications.

I used the recommended Zitron Ethno in #10 multicoloured, but used 3 balls instead of 2 to get a longer scarf. After restarting a few times because I didn't like the tension or the width of the scarf, I switched down to 5mm needles and used 17 stitches in the set up row instead of 19. The fingers are created by casting on and casting off 5 stitched at the beginning of each row. The main body of the scarf is in moss stitch. The Ethno was interesting to stitch with and the resulting scarf is very cuddly and warm (especially now the weather has warmed up!).
