Cast on

I cast on the One Row Handspun Scarf yesterday with my malabrigo worsted. I think maybe this yarn has finally found its project. I tried this scarf when I first got my Options in February, but just couldn't make it work and ended up in tears. Amazing what patience and a few months can do. I'm fairy certain I was using 5mm needles, which was what was recommended on the Yarn Harlot's page, but I for some reason chose 11mm needles last night. I think I must have seen these used in someone's Ravelry projects and thought I had gotten my needles mixed up. Huh. Now I don't know why I chose those and really hope I have enough of this yarn to finish the project without it being too short... I really like the loose gauge with the bigger needles, and the stitch couldn't be easier, now that I've gotten the hang of it. I can't post pictures yet, though, because this will be a gift (assuming I don't run out of yarn). I wonder how different two different dye lots of Malabrigo Worsted in Peach Tree would be...
