Thanks, MICHELLE - I got my parcel!
So here's the thing -- I live on a boat. It's a wonderful life, very unique and interesting. But there are times.... like when I get a parcel in the mail. We have a mailbox here in the marina, but it's just a little one, so they won't leave parcels. SO. Day before yesterday, I got a card in the mail telling me that I needed to pick up my parcel at a nearby postal outlet. I knew it had to be from my secret pal, so I was very excited! So I went there. They said it wasn't there, and that, according to the computer, the parcel had been 'returned' to the 'warehouse,' and that I should call again 'tomorrow', being yesterday. So yesterday I went again -- and you have no idea what a fiasco this is! It's right downtown, major traffic snarls, no parking anywhere, blah, blah, blah.... but I went, because, you know,I'd get my SCARF!
They said it still wasn't there. But the computer said it was 'on its way' and that I should check again today.
So I checked again today .... and I finally got it!!! Michelle, it's beautiful, AND it's perfect for me, thanks so much! Folks, I've included a close-up photo of the scarf so you can see the amazing cable detail in this piece, it's amazing...
I guess I'm done now -- I've sent my scarf and it's been received, and I've received mine, now. Thanks so much to the organizers, it was a blast!

what amazing cables! that scarf and hat are definitely worth the hassle of going to the post office so many times, i think.
That is gorgeous!!
That's gorgeous! I'd love to know what pattern it is.
SUch a drama but what a result! Wonderful!
Oh no, sorry it was a hassle!!
But I'm glad you like it!
The scarf pattern is a free one found at www.d-made.com. The hat is just ribbing until you get close to the top, and then I just sort of cabled to sort of get the gist of the scarf.
I hope the scarf and hat keep you warm
on the boat!!
