Merino Wool Scarf For Sale!

I recently finished a lovely merino wool scarf knit with Punta Yarns Merisoft yarn.  It's hand-dyed yarn, so the colors are quite varied but still muted.


The stitch pattern creates a double-sided scarf, so there are two different "looks" to it. This pattern also creates a fairly thick fabric, so it's great for cold weather!


To give you an idea of how it looks on, here it is on me!


The cost of the scarf is $35, which is to cover the cost of the yarn and the cost of mailing it to whoever buys it. The first person to comment here that they want the scarf will be the lucky buyer!!

Edit: This scarf has now been donated and is no longer available for sale.

Mom's Birthday Gift

When Mom came to visit at Christmas, I asked her to look at a little book of shawl patterns that I have.  She made notes on a few that she thought she might like, so I knitted one for her birthday last month!  It's a Pocket Shawl made with alpaca yarn.  So here a couple pictures of me modelling Mom's shawl before I sent it to her:
