The Irish Girl Scarf Among Other Things

I'm making the Purl Scarf for a friend by the name of Byrne. Nan Byrne. She's a cool cat--she compiled the collection of short stories, Bar Stories, and you can check out the book here and/or read her blog all about bar stories.

And I put two right sleeves on the thing--I'm hoping with deceiving blocking I can hide this fact.

Did I mention I quilt? I am learning anyhow. I will perhaps keep an up

date on this pretty quilt that I'm working on. It's the Sawtooth Star pattern. I do like my lavenders...
