Slight Technical Hitch
As this is my first KAL/SP/SE of any kind I am unsure of the protocols involved so it's a total learning experience for me. Not only have I had the fun of finding the right yarn and pattern for my SE partner I have also faced the challenge of blog posting for the first time. Not such a big deal for a computer savvy knitter such as myself, you might think - especially one who has an obsession with Knitting forums. No, the problem is remembering all the passwords to those lists I have signed myself up to as well as the various identities used. A bit of housekeeping is required I think. I've fixed up my Blog ID so it's not such an anonymous void - the next step I suppose would be to actually get a blog - one day maybe.
Now I have got this far I must ask is this a surprise exchange or is it better to contact one's Scarf Pals and get more details than those listed? Would it be rude if you wanted to keep it a surprise?
Re my progress, I was inspired by a previous poster's choice of Karaoke soy/wool yarn from - I've always wanted to try this brand out and I am not disappointed. It's a lovely smooth yarn and it has great definition for the lace pattern I have chosen. (thank you Barbara Walker Vol 2.)
So, after the inspiration I have to get onto the application - the hard part!

Wow....can I relate! This is my first KAL, although I belong to almost every knit group on the Internet. And since I don't blog (too busy reading other peoples) I'm only hoping that this will be posted correctly.
I plan to visit my LYS tomorrow and do some poking around. I'm looking for warm and soft. I have picked out the pattern, I just want the perfect yarn. And with Christmas on the horizon, I'm planning this gift to be my "after the holidays" treat. Can't wait!!
You can contact your pal, but you will need to create a separate emaila ccount for that. Folks like Gmail and hotmail are good for this. Make sure it does not have ur name on it. use a bogus name like scarfety scarf or something.
