biggie print progress

I made some serious progress last night on the kyle pattern scarf. Of course I stayed up too late racing the clock thinking I could finish it. I still have about eight inches to go, and then I must add the fringe. Since my last knitty post, I did end up frogging the scarf again since I was incorrectly slipping the stitches knit-wise rather than purl-wise. Expert "knitting fiend" Lucia thought I may not have needed to start over because I probably wouldn't see the difference since the yarn is super bulky. However, I re-did it anyway and am much happier with the overall look of the pattern (with no mistakes!) and I'm satisfied that I've learned a lot about slipping stitches. Slipping purl-wise kept each slipped stitch from having an unnecessary additional twist. Here's a close-up of the giant stitches (Rowan's biggie print yarn in humbug):
