On the needles at last!

Handmaiden "Lady Godiva" (50/50 silk and wool) and the Little Leaf Scarf pattern. I can hardly believe I've actually cast on. The biggest issue (next to crazy-hectic life) was committing to a pattern. And when I did, the yarn I had originally chosen (Peruvian Collection Sierra from elann) didn't want to be that pattern. And that brings us up to now, several hours later. I'm also a few inches further along than this picture from just before noon shows. I don't work again until Thursday (woo!) so I hope to get in a few more minutes of knitting time in the next few days.
