• An FO!

  Here's the low-down on the yarny goodness from the other day:

  

  Pattern: Not-Quite-Straight Scarf from Nicole over at All Buttoned Up.  Great pattern, super easy to learn, interesting enough to not get boring.

  

  Yarn: Lion Brand's Lion Wool.  A good, plain, 100% wool.  One of the few natural fiber yarns available at Hobby Lobby, so it's affordable and accessible.  Nice.

  Needles: I don't even remember...I think US 9s.  Bamboo, so likely Clover.

  This pattern needs to be blocked to look nice.  I took a lot of pictures during the blocking process, and hopefully one day I can get a post together about blocking:

  

  Notes: I originally made this to send in for OFA's Red Scarf Project, but due to these silly things called midterms, I didn't get it finished in time.  I finished a few days after the deadline, so I emailed OFA to ask if I could send it in late.  I still haven't heard back (that was about a month ago), so I have four options:
  1) Save it for next year's Red Scarf Project.
  2) Donate it to another charity, preferably local to Baton Rouge or Houston.
  3) Give it to a friend or family member.
  4) Keep it for myself:

  

  At this point, I think I'm going to go with option 2.  If you have any local charity suggestions, let me know! =)
