I finished this for Alison last weekend and she loves it and wears it almost every day. I have gotten many compliments on it and people cannot believe *I* knitted it, so that sure makes me feel good.

We are leaving for CA today and I am bringing my projects with me. I have 2 easy scarves planned for the plane. If I finish those, I have two hats I can do on the way back. I also started Alison a sweater which is Project #2 from Bliss's How To Knit. The back and front are simple stockinette boxes with garter border, sleeves, I will learn to increase/decrease, neck opening has no shaping, more like a boat neck, so it looks easy, aside from casting on 97 stitches with size 3 needles and cotton yarn. Very tedious work compared to those loosely knitted scarves. Anyway, I am all set for the the next two weeks.

Oh, and the scarf...yarn is Yarn Bee, same as the last scarf, just different pattern, it took one full 110 yd ball.

Thanks for looking.

I can see why she likes it so much, it's beautiful! I love those colors.

OHhh, that turned out beautifully! I love how the yellow made that pattern throughout.

Great work! And good luck with those size 3 needles... I don't know if I would have the patience.
