Modified Condo Knitting Garter Stripes

I'm going to have to set up an alert on my iPod calendar to remind me when I last did a post, because lately it's Monday, and I blink, and it's Friday. Anyway, this is the second scarf of my Stitch Scarf project. I ended up modifying the original stitch pattern by accident (I think I did this by doing an extra row in one section without realizing it). The original pattern was rows 1-6: knit (with two strands); rows 7 & 9 (RS): knit; rows  8 & 10: purl (with one strand) (repeat rows 1-10). I ended up doing rows 1-7: knit; rows 8 & 10: knit; rows 9 & 11: purl (all with one strand of yarn). I basically ended up with a pattern of of three different stripes instead of two, which hopefully you can see in the photos below (I had taken a picture of the swatch in the book for reference, but I must have deleted it off my phone :/ so I don't have any way to let you compare them at the moment). I have many other things to post so I'll be working on that over the next few weeks (and I'm about halfway done with the third scarf).

Seed Stitch Scarf

I'm a bit behind on posting the Stitch Scarves (which I posted about here: http://wabisabikomorebi.blogspot.com/2015/04/stitch-scarves.html), considering the fact that I'm starting the third one, so here's the first one. This one is just a simple Seed Stitch scarf. I did it in an interesting Lion Brand yarn called Alpine Wool that I came across. It's 100% wool and is considered a roving yarn. The results were really clean and smooth considering how loosely the yarn was spun.
