I Coulda Used a Spit Splice

After using one skein of the Cascade 220, the SLS (aka Simple Lace Scarf) is about 44 inches long. I want about 60 inches, so it's on to the second skein. Since the yarn is 100% wool I could spit splice, but I decided to try the russianjoin instead. Pretty nifty little maneuver. You can see my results at the top left of the photo.

Added bonus: no ends to work in!
