Just started

I received my match and have heard from mine, so all is good there. I dove into the stash last night and found some lovely yarn hand-dyed from Persimmon Tree Farm. This will be perfect for my pal who prefers rich, autumn colors. I have two concerns with my start and that is that the scarf is only about 4" wide, and this stitch pattern is eating up the yarn as it compresses. I may rip this out and cast on for a lacier scarf tonight. You can see a photo and read more about my adventure on my blog.
