She likes it!

My scarf exchange pal Sue did receive the scarf yesterday, and she likes it! She both posted on the Ravelry Scarf Exchange group forum and sent me a very kind email yesterday, telling me how much she likes the scarf. She said "Really, the scarf is so 'me', I could have knit it myself for sure! The pattern is lovely, the yarn is lovely, and I will wear it lots." She was also very appreciative of all the goodies. Yippee! I am so pleased!

The scarf exchange scarf

Since my scarf exchange pal, Sue, should receive her scarf today, I can finally talk about it - yippee!

I chose the Midwest Moonlight pattern, both for its beautiful pattern and for the name - you can take the girl out of the Midwest but you can't take the Midwest out of the girl and all that.

I chose a luscious silk and alpaca blend yarn called Elegance, which I purchased online from Knit Picks. Love, love, LOVE this yarn! It is silky and oh so elegant, indeed. The color is called Grass and is a pretty shade of green - not too bright, not too olive. I think the scarf turned out gorgeous.

I also included a lot of fun goodies, most of which I found on Etsy:

• A soap sock from designtalentedone, along with a bar of natural french clay soap made by daisycakessoap;
• A sheep-shaped (say that fast) bath fizzy, also from daisycakessoap;
• A polka dot coffee cozy from jenandjules;
• A half pound of our favorite Mocha Java coffee from Senoia Coffee Co.; and,
• A "surrender yer yarn" button from CafePress.

Fun, fun, fun stuff - I hope Sue likes it!
