This will be heading off to my match Liz on Monday! This is the package I am putting together for the Winter Scarf Knit Kit Swap on Swap-Bot. There is a pattern*, yarn, needles, and mug/drink to sip while making it up. I hope she likes it.
And I found the neatest knit pattern gift bag for it!
*pdf pattern warning!

Thanks for your comment. I have no problem with you living vicariously, but am sorry to hear you have to sit out.
it’s a lovely kit – who wouldn’t love it? Very nice.And thanks for the pattern link – I might try it myself! Have you made one?
I have not made the Falling Waters scarf yet, but it is on my list of projects to try – it seems like a nice straightforward lace pattern. I’m strongly considering using the skein of KnitPicks Shadow that I’ve got in the stash for it – it’s the right amount and only slightly lighter then fingering weight.
I’m resisting casting it on until I’ve gotten something finished, though!
