I will make an effort to post a pattern of some sort every month. This counts for January (Yeah, yeah, I know it's not January anymore.) I'll post the matching scarf in another week or so, and that will count for February. IF YOU FIND AN ERROR (I tried to proofread carefully, but of course, I tend towards the human) ... well, post a comment to let me know and I will make the correction.
