With a little daylight after Saturday’s deluge and some help from Jason on the photography, I managed to get a picture of me with the scarf on. It matches my new boots and my favorite light sweater perfectly. My winter coat is pretty similar to the color of the chair I’m sitting on so it goes nicely with that as well. Makes me wonder if Ingrid went back in the archives and found the photo of the boots so well does the scarf match. Pretty swift, eh? It was the perfect thing yesterday morning at knitting when it was a little cool but not cool enough to wear a jacket. We passed it around where it was much admired and all agree the fringe and beading are just right.

There was also some baking going on. Jason was going on about cupcakes but I have planned to do in a few weeks so I wanted something different. Then I got an e-mail from Fine Cooking with a recipe for pecan squares and that seemed just the thing.
