ISE4: Backyard Leaves Scarf update

I am sooo close to the finish line with this scarf I can almost taste it! Only 2 more repeats to do today, a quick wash & block, and then I'll be FREE. I'll post some piccies later when I get the camera recharged.

It's a lovely scarf and I will certainly be making another in the future, but I would be lying if I didn't say I found it challenging.

It's one those projects that I simply had to have the chart with me the whole time. Granted I memorised the abbreviations and could recognise where a YO was needed or whether to decrease with a K2tog or a SSK, but I never did get that 'intuitive' thing going on with the pattern, which some people who have made this scarf in the past seem to have had.

I totally admire those who are able to memorise multiple repeat patterns!!
