I spent my lunch hour finishing up my red scarf, even as the winter weather is settling over northeastern OK. I still need to block it to get it to not curl up into a tube, but it'll do to get me home with a warm neck this evening.
If you're interested, here's the pattern, a simple stitch set similar to the broader ribbing in the sweater I'm making for my husband:
Cast on 16 stitches.
Row 1: *P1, K2. Repeat from * to next to last stitch. Pearl last stitch.
Row 2: Pearl.
That's it. Repeat those two rows until you have the length you want, then bind off loosely. I used two balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky (minus the amount used in the ear warmer) and US Size 8 needles, but the pattern looks good in just about any gauge, so don't be afraid to play around with what you have. And, of course, the fringe is optional.
UPDATE: Of course I can't talk about knitting today without discussing how much I covet the skull and knitting needle crossbones tee shirt Lorelei Gilmore wore last night, the only great thing about that episode other than Luke finally growing a pair where his babymomma is concerned. Oh, and Danny Strong. But the point is: I WANT! And now, I can have, and so can you.

I keep meaning to send you over to my RL friend's, scarletmote, blog.

She knits beautifully (she made me a scarf!), she spins and she hand-dyes. You may have something to talk about. :)
Wow. She made, like, practically the same scarf. Except hers is wider and longer. I wanted mine to be longer, but not as much as I didn't want to have to go buy another ball of yarn.
Thanks for the link!
