Basketweave Scarf

Ok here's another scarf. It's a basketweave scarf which I've never done before. I know I know..another scarf??? Yeah another scarf. Even I'm getting to the point where I'm asking myself if this isn't getting boring. I'm still a little unsure about my abilities as a knitter to move on from easy things like scarves and hats. I wish I had someone close to me who was a master knitter who I could go to for advice. Yes I'm on Ravelry and I go to quite a few sites to look at other women's work but it's not the same as having someone sitting next to you and guiding you. Maybe I'll actually get up the courage to go into a yarn shop and have a seat and talk for a while to some of the women there.
As for the scarf. It's a Nako wool blend and it's purple which doesn't show up too well here unless you enlarge it. When you see it in person, though, you can see the blue and red throughout the whole piece. It really is a lovely yarn.
I have one more scarf to do then I'm going to try something a little more adventurous. I'm thinking a cap a friend of mine requested...the newsboy kinda cap. We'll have to see.
