(I even found a few new ones while visiting a nearby village the day before yesterday ... sigh!)
While trying out one of the new balls and searching my mind for a solution on how to get straight coloured areas without having to cut up the wool into small units, I suddenly got the idea of using short rows (this means that you're knitting only over a part of the stitches for a couple of rows, before joining up knitting over all stitches again) - eureka!
The colours on this yarn remind me of Africa ... just the right colour scheme to brighten up a dull European fall and winter!
(German summary: Ich kann diese Sockenwolle doch noch nicht ganz lassen - bei diesem Schal habe ich verkürzte Reihen gestrickt, damit der Farbwechsel größere, einheitliche Farbflächen ergibt.)

It's ok, I love to see your sock wool because I would never have the patience to knit sock wool, so I like to look at yours!
Carolyn :o)

This knitting and the puzzle in your previous post are both fascinating. What an amazing way of knitting.
this looks wonderful - i like the way you have made the sections of colour. I guess this would work with crochet, too?
Oh, what a wonderful design!
love this technique! very fabulous!
Thank you, girls, for your enthusiastic comments!
@Carolyn: It's not that bad at all - this sock wool is a bit thicker and you can use needles No. 4!
@Paula: Yes, the colour areas would work with crochet as well - but I guess you should use double crochet stitches and quite a big hook, so the scarf won't be too sturdy ...
It looks beautiful, like rainbows over the hills.
It is so much fun to read your post because I can feel the joy you're having while working on your creation. You are a talented lady.
Thank you too, Fioleta and Elizabeth!
Yes, rainbows is a nice description - while knitting, I sometimes imagined sunsets colouring the sea below ...
