It's actually a free Lion Brand pattern: http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/50368.html<BR/><BR/>I've modified it a bit just due to lack of yarn amount and my total stitch count is fewer and the cables are 4 stitch cables instead of 6 stitch cables but I've kept the number of rows between twists the same so that they are elongated cables.<BR/><BR/>It's a fun scarf and I wish I had more yarn to make it a lot longer but I don't so it will end up just over 4 feet in length.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21993336.post-1158183455955524822006-09-13T17:37:00.000-04:002006-09-13T17:37:00.000-04:00Re: vertical graft - reposition the first 4 sts on...Re: vertical graft - reposition the first 4 sts on one needle and the last 4 on another.

Come to think of it, the other night my fiance remarked that I had a project everywhere in the house where I'd sit down (living room, family room, bedroom).
