I finished this scarf last week and am very happy with it. The yarn is Wool Bam Boo by Classic Elite Yarns and the pattern is from the One Skein Wonders book. This is the second scarf I have made using this pattern. The first  was for one of my daughters.

This pattern says to knit in garter stitch; but in both of the scarves I have knitted, I changed to stockinette, as I think the smoother stitch looks more elegant than the garter stitch.

I used my small Yarn Owl for this project. The yarn and the scarf would have fit very nicely into the medium-sized Owl; but I worked on this scarf at home, so it was easy just to pick up and knit while the small Owl kept my yarn tangle free!

I am working on the French Press slippers now in a beautiful heathered lavendar wool from KnitPicks.  I can’t wait to finish!  With the weather we are having, I could really use them today.  We have had 8-1/2 inches of snow today and expect 1-2 more inches!  That is a lot of snow for a North Texan.  This photo of my youngest daughter, Alli, was taken around noon today at UNT.
