Scarf Patterns?

[glinda]

Hello!

I'm seeking the wisdom, experience of the comm, with regard to scarf patterns. A few months ago when I was up on Shetland I bought some Shetland (Marl) wool with the intention of making a scarf. I'm looking for a pattern for a long scarf, preferably with some sort of cable pattern (I've not done a lot of cabling - mostly only in a swatch for a jumper I never ended up making - but I enjoyed it and would like to do some more without worrying about lots of increases/decreases etc). It's been four months since I bought the wool and I've found nothing that grabbed me and suited the wool. So, if anyone has used a pattern like that they'd recommend, or knows of one that looks like it would work? Any suggestions gratefully received.

PS My knitting skill level is about Knitty 'tangy' grade.

Have you played with the pattern advanced search on Ravelry? I've preselected cabled scarves, but you can further narrow it down if you want.

(Caution: it's addictive, and you will find yourself with too many favourites to knit in a lifetime :P)
