FO: ene's scarf
pattern: ene's scarf from scarf style
for: auntie eleanor
timeline: started 05.29.2007; finished 07.14.2007
yarn: ~4.8 skeins of crystal palace panda cotton in yellow
needles: US size 6 knit picks options
the start of this was, not surprisingly, brutal. casting on and working those hundreds of stitches was pretty awful. every row seemed to take an eternity and i would knit forever and not seem to make any progress. however, once i got down to around 200 stitches or so, it went relatively quickly. the pattern was error-free, as far as i could tell.
i LOVE this shawl, especially in this yarn. it's cool to the touch and great for summer. it's a teensy bit splitty, but not awful. i would love to make another shawl, possibly in this pattern, for myself and/or a pair of socks.

Bravo! You finished it! And it's really beautiful... the colour is just right for summer. I may just go and knit one in the same yarn :)
