The Way We Were

Was cleaning out dresser drawers today and found this from almost six years ago:



The second scarf I made. YIKES! What was I thinking?

Obviously I didn't know alpaca and cashmere yet. The softness of merino and lightness of mohair were unknown to me. So much was ahead--lacy shawls. socks, hats and booties. But, at that time, a little scarf in a glitzy ladder yarn was all I had in my knitting repertoire.

I hesitated when I saw this scarf. I was ready to toss it. But it's good to remember where I once was and it makes me think how much further I still can go.
