This Road Trip was in Mid-September. The leaves had not really started to change to other colors rather having mellowed to old greens as they prepared for true autumn. The roadside grasses had gone tan with burgundy/russet seedheads, the sky was clear and blue.

The sections represent the colors of the land and the sky, but they also seem to be reminiscent of the concrete roads that we sometimes travel on. They make a thumpity-thump rhythmic sound.

In addition to being inspired by the colors of a road trip, this scarf is a wonderful project to knit on during a road trip, since it is all garter stitch!

The scarf takes a full skein of one color, and partial skeins of the other four colors. The original scarf is knit in Moss, Russet, Candied Pecan, Wheaten, and Coos Bay.

The instructions given in the pattern are very clear, and would be excellent for a beginning knitter.
