Comments:
I knit this scarf as part of the scarf exchange on the Fiber RAOK list. We each sent yarn to someone, they knit a scarf from that yarn and then send it back to you. I got yarn from Stacey, which I believe she dyed herself. One of them was a mohair and the other a wool. There was no label, so I wasn't sure how much I had of the wool. It ended up that I had quite a bit more of the wool than the mohair, so I should have done more rows of that instead of doing equal number of rows of each. Once I ran out of the mohair I had to stop and it was a bit shorter than I'd have liked it, but it's still workable.

Jessica picked this out from Stitch n Bitch Nation. I already had pink Glace left over, which turned out really nice. I used far less yarn than the pattern required.

Comments:
I knit these for Greg for Christmas. Obviously, I didn't finish them all up in time for Christmas, though. They were fun, but very futzy to knit.
