Wow, My First Knitting Request
I posted the finished Irish Hiking Scarf on my blog and one of the regulars there has actually asked me if I would make one for her if she bought the yarn.

I'm kinda flattered.

That is so cool. I would be thrilled if someone asked me that. It was one very cool scarf I am not surprised that you got an offer. How is the hat going today?

It's gorgeous! You should post it in our What'cha Knittin' forum, too. Lots of people have been following the saga of the scarf right along with you.

I've been pretty busy today but have managed to knit a few rounds on the hat so far.
