My hubby, Mr. friend, is celebrating a birthday today. I made this scarf last April right in front of his very eyes, and he never knew it! Yep, I guess because I always have knitting in my hands he never even asks what I am working on. Some may be annoyed, but I think it is pretty great....to be able to work on something for him, and he will still be surprised when he receives it!!! This yarn is some of the yummiest yarn that I have ever worked with. It took 3 balls of Charmed by Classic Elite. 85% Cashmere, 15% Mohair. It is also a Classic Elite pattern, and was really easy. Since I found the yarn to be so great, I knew that I had to make something for myself out of it. My project is taking 10 balls! That is fair, isn't it?? Sure hope this keeps the birthday boy warm all winter long.
