Woohoo! A finished object! This time I think I managed to capture the glitteriness of the Silver Anniversary scarf. The song from Girl Scout camp kept looping through my brain as I knit this...
Make New Friends,
but keep the Old,
One is Silver
and the other Gold.
This scarf, appropriately enough, is for someone I consider a new (less than 10 years) friend.
On the 30th of September, she will celebrate 25 YEARS of sobriety.
I hope in some small way this will serve as a marker of this stellar achievement
in her life.

Wowie wowie wowie! How wonderful! And what a perfect, thoughtful gift for your friend. She will love it, wear it, cuddle with it with the greatest pride. (I finished mine last night, too, will post pics tomorrow morning.....) Congrats to you a lovely job! Virtual slumber party here we come!

It's beautiful. A lovely way of honoring a friend's achievement. Onto the zipper, right?

It's de-lovely! (look at me, it's 8:30 am and I finished my work for the morning with half and hour to spare! Yay!) The name of the book you're looking for, dear, is _Poetry for Cats_, by Henry Beard. He also did _French for Cats_, which is also funny if only for his discourse on the Existential Cat, coughing up a hairball. But that's not important right now. I am psyched for the slumber party!
