Hooded scarf... done at last!

[aeramel.livejournal.com]

When I went in for knee surgery a couple of months back I figured I use the recovery time to get a head start on my xmas knitting. And then I started this, which with the exception of a couple pairs of trigger finger mitts worked mostly on my lunch hours, has been lording over my 5mm needles till this afternoon.

Its really just a long/wide scarf folded in half, seamed in the back for the hood, and toped with a tassel). Figured also are a pair of trigger mitts to go with it.

And for the novelty of it here are some embarrassing pics of me modeling it.
