I just realized that I never posted a picture of the scarf I made for my daughter for her birthday –  Well, which is to say I made it for the one week anniversary of her birthday.

I did wrap the yarn, though, and let her open that on her birthday. The look on her face as she tried to figure out how to articulate “Mom, you are crazy” without being ungrateful was priceless.

She does love the scarf, though. Since it took me a couple months to remember to get a picture, you can tell from the wrinkles that it has been well-used (my daughter doesn’t mess around when it comes to wrapping scarves around things). The magic here is in the yarn itself, which shades oh-so-slowly between blue and aqua-green. The pattern is just a garter stitch until the yarn ran out.
