Here's a photo of my Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf:
It's Silk Garden in color 45. This is about a skein and a half and it's over 2 feet long. I like it alot so far and best of all, it didn't cost me anything, since I went stash shopping! It's fun to knit and it's also easy to knit while I'm reading with this pattern.
I finished reading Girl With a Pearl Earring today. Quick read. It was okay, not quite as enthralling as The Birth of Venus, but not bad...4 socks.
