What was your inspiration?

i enjoyed doing the 2012 Advent calendar scarf so much i joined the longer Winter solstice KAL and chose the 2011 scarf patterns

What are you most proud of?

how well this turned out using one of the oldest yarn in my stash, this is a acrylic yarn from the 1970's, it not only knitted up well, but blocked well too and is super soft!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

if you are a yarn lover and have a large stash, check through it and think of possibilities before walking out the door to the local craft store or yarn shop...

thanks, it is a dk weight yarn, so it is substantial- i was happy it blocked out so well and has a lacy look even with a heavier yarn than laceweight-
