Bright columns scarf

Here we are. The beginning of a scarf from Kasha's fleece. I started using this yarn for the Lacy V Scarf back in December; I made it halfway done while holding two strands together on size 10½ needles before I ran out of yarn. The yarn languished while I waited for the spring shearing to get more of Kasha's yarn. I got really tired of waiting, so I frogged the whole thing two weeks ago and designed this scarf. This is a single strand of yarn on size 9 needles and is a much more open knit.

Bright Columns Scarf
This is named Bright Columns because the name of the alpaca from whose fleece it was originally knit was Kasha, which in Hindi means "brightness" and the pattern itself reminds me of multiple tiers of columns.

Gauge
Not terribly important, but my scarf is about 7¾" wide before blocking.
