I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE this scarf pattern!! I saw it in the newsletter last month and made it for a friend of mine for christmas, she loved it. I works up so fast, I have the pleasure of having my motherin laws birthday on the 2nd of January, we never know what to get her because it it so close to the holidays. But it is cold and this scarf worked out perfectly! I managed to put it together in about 12 hours in 2 day period. It was a lot faster once I learned the pattern.I am presently making one for me!
thanks so much!
