Pattern: Backyard Leaves by Annie Modesitt from Scarf Style
Yarn: Shibui Knits Baby Alpaca DK in Wasabi, two skeins (but with a lot left over)
Needles: Bamboo size 8s
Modifications: None!
I'm very happy with the scarf, and hope that my SIL will like it. It's really soft, but I think it could still go for a bath in Soak to soften it up a bit.

I played volleyball for the first time in three years on Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun, but I'm still in pain! All of the crouching and diving around the floor... ouchy. Yesterday morning my arms were so swollen, I couldn't fasten my watch in the usual hole. But I do know that I'm hitting the ball in exactly the right place! Perhaps my gleeful experience in letting my gym membership expire this spring wasn't the best thing ever...

And GO YANKEES!

I love your blog and check it often, so I'm sorry that my first comment must be "GO TRIBE"!!! :-)
The scarf is beautiful! Such a pretty color.
I hope you feel better soon! Muscles are all too fond of letting one know when they feel abused.
Your BL is gorgeous! I've knitted it three times [for gifts] and will never tire of it.
Awwww, this looks absolutely fantastic! So soft and cozy and warm, and what a gorgeous colorway! Congrats!
And I sure hope you're feeling a bit better by now - volleyball is certainly heavy on all the muscles and wrists and whatnots, especially if you haven't done it for long!
Your SIL is going to LOVE it. It's absolutely beautiful!
