What I Made Monday 9/5/11

I'm linking up over at My Personal Reflections for I Made It Monday.

As a young girl my aunt taught me to knit, but it's been years since I've picked up my needles. I didn't even know if I would remember how to cast on my stitches, but with the help of YouTube, I spent a couple of days practicing basic knit and purl stitches and headed off to a local yarn shop for some advice and the most luscious baby alpaca wool. It was so smooth and cozy.
This was the little scarf I stitched up and a rosette pin to close it. 

Now if only the cooler breezes would come along and I could start wearing it.

Your scarf looks great, and the flower just completes it!
