Motivation:
- Feel excited about this yarn and about doing a quick project that's for me
- I loved receiving this yarn as an unexpected gift, and wanted to complete this project before the next time I see the giver
- I wanted to get back into a satisfying creative routine
Inspiration:
- A weaving buddy gave me this yarn at a spring weavers guild meeting. I was so touched. I don't get surprises very often! (Especially not pleasant yarn surprises!!)
- I would love to create an open, spring-like scarf to wear in spring and fall indoors (not my usual, keeps-me-warm-in-winter scarf!)
What I liked about this project:
- I really like how the yarn and pattern work together to show off the luster and irregularities of this yarn.
- I tried lots of dropped stitch patterns, and really like that this one combines knits and purls with the dropped stitches to make a more interesting scarf.

Very pretty and what a wonderful color. You know how I love green and that is one spectacular delicate green. I think your scarf pattern is just the perfect choice!
Excellent combination of yarn and pattern-it will warm your heart every time you wear it!
Very nice. The yarn is pretty and looks like it's fun to knit.
How cool!!! Green banana yarn. I love the scarf.
Who wouldn't want to wear that around their neck! Mmmm. Silk and green, a perfect combination.
