Scarf

Well, almost a scarf.... working on it :-)

At the moment it's about 3/4 of the length that it will end up, and I have wool and beads for fringing. Can't wait to wear it.

Useful and ornamental needlework, knitting, and netting are capable of being made, not only sources of personal gratification, but of high moral benefit, and the means of developing in surpassing loveliness and grace, some of the highest and noblest feelings of the soul. ~Author unknown, from The Ladies' Work Table Book, 1845
