It was nice to have a plain, garter stitch project to work on between zombie knitting. It's funny how something so boring can be so soothing. I guess it's only boring when you don't have anything else to pay attention to.

How nice you put your pattern up. It really is a pretty scarf. Have you been shopping for yarn?
Thanks for sharing the pattern. I love the color you picked.
I showed off my gorgeous shawl at Christmas to my family. There wasn't one person who wasn't in awe of your work. My mother knits and she kept saying" I can't believe someone made this." I love it!!
I love boring if it means soothing! Anything to rest and distract this mommy-brain! xoxo It's wonderful!
Sometimes we all need boring; lovely scarf. Wishing you and your family the best for 2011.

I have always underestimated the importance of scarves. Then I spent time in a cold climate. Scarves are hugely necessary!
