Weekend Project

My project last weekend during the cold, cold days was to make use of my new and improved yarn stash.  Before Christmas, my friend Eren, who braved the long line at PW's book signing with me,

gave me a giant rubbermaid box full of yarn, most of which she had inherited from a co-worker.

I found a leaf pattern over at Spud and Chloe that I love, and I found the perfect skein of yarn in the stash to make the scarf with.

Ignore the fact that it doesn't go with my sweater; it's not in my colors so I'm giving it to Eren.

I'd appreciate it if you'd also ignore the holiday weight gain.

And ignore the 11 year-old boy who loves to be the center of attention.

But I can't ignore that this scarf is very cozy and I love the way it feels around my neck.  I'm downright chilly when I take it off!
