Wow, time is flying by for this exchange. After many false starts I finally have a scarf I'm happy with. It's a pretty simple pattern but it works really well with the yummy alpaca I'm knitting with. Now I just have to finish in time. I spent my day off today knitting while watching Pride and Prejudice and got a lot done. I also went shopping for goodies to round out the package. Only a few more days to go until my pal gets her scarf... and not a moment too soon as it's already snowing where she lives!
