Thank You Scarf

After Chris the librarian gave me her handspun and I turned it into my lovely Shalom Cardigan, I felt it was only right that I give her a little something in return. Karma, politeness, the Golden Rule - all would suggest that this is a good thing to do. Figuring out what to make was a bit of a trick, but eventually I settled on making her this infinity scarf. I used the same yarn I'd used for my Celtic Cardigan - it's Canadian, nice and thick, and a great mix of colours. Chris often wears a scarf when she's sitting at the front desk in the library, and she's a no-nonsense kind of person who would appreciate the simplicity of this scarf. These big cowls (or infinity scarves) are all the rage these days, and I can see why - they're big and warm and can be worn all kinds of different ways. I faked a pattern up - it's just a big loop of seed stitch - and knit until I felt it was big enough. I kind of love it myself, but I'm happy for Chris to have it, with my thanks!
Yarn: Fleece Artist Scotian Silk
Pattern: my own
