I made this.

Usually, when I say that, I'm talking about a quilt, a hat, a pair of socks, a sweater - and it's something that has taken me weeks, if not months, to finish. Well, last night I made this scarf. (And yes, my bathroom is painted Sunkist Orange - I love it, but it makes seeing the true colors in the scarf difficult)
It took me about $25, three seams and 10 minutes to complete it. Isn't it beautiful? A couple of gals on the quilting weekend made some, with velvet from Portsmouth Fabric. Once I saw their finished scarves, I couldn't resist. And the colors in this piece, aren't they just beautiful? I plan on wearing it next week when I see family (Thanksgiving), to see their reaction - imagine if that was my 'handmade' gift? For once, people will be OVER reacting to the work I put into something.

In knitting news, the Trade Sweater has become too large to fit in my purse. So I've thrown in my Morehouse Merino to start another hat. I got this at Rhinebeck, and it feels just wonderful.

Of course, the weather here is all weird - it was 72 degrees yesterday! Not really scarf OR hat wearing weather. Only one more day till my weeks vacation! Yippee!!!
