International Scarf Exchange

I have started thinking about panicking about my International Scarf Exchange scarf, which is due shortly. I've had a tough few weeks as I'm sure none of you knows given that I keep pretty quiet about such unpleasant stuff, but suffice it to say that I've had a hard time giving extra out when nothing is coming in to me emotionally, ya know? Anyway, today I got my new toys in action (ball winder and skein holder!!)



and wound up some yummy KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud in Tide Pool into this:



to make a knotted openwork scarf from. I'll start today once I've done some more of a shawl and job hunted and not wilted too much in the heat.
