Yarn, pattern, and a plan...FINALLY!

So after what seems like weeks of going back and forth, I have finally chosen a yarn. I chose Rowan wool/cotton in an orangish-pumpkiny color. For awhile I was worried that the color was all wrong, but I held it against a black wool coat and it seemed to work well. I normally don't wear orange, so this will be fun to knit in a color that I would not necessarily pick out for myself.

Finding a pattern has been equally time consuming. I tried out a few lace patterns found on Craftster, but I have really been wanting to try the Midwest Moonlight pattern from Scarf Style. I think this scarf will be nice to knit on and off while doing all other holiday knitting.
