my pals scarf

I had fun with this scarf, it is made in a simple drop stitch pattern but I liked the way it turned out.I used baby alpaca in black and opal colorway 17 and a brown shimmer I hope she likes it, I made it a little long so she could wrap it!!

which I totally love !! and there was little cards she had made that had web info for me to go to which I totally love, there were the needles and the smaller purple bag for my notions and the darning needle holder which I adore because I always stick them in the curtains and then cant find them so now they are tucked safely away then there was the eucalan to wash my new socks in when I get them done.

and it also has an instep pattern I was not familiar with this until now. Oh and she sent a kit for my tootsies so they can look good even if I don't have socks on again Kathy thank you very much. I have the second sock on the needles and hope to have them finished by next weekend of course my phone camera does not do any of this any justice but thought I would share anyway. have a great day
