So a friend from work called me today to tell me she had found the scarf I made for her last Christmas in her son’s backpack yesterday.
The bright fluffy-girly-beyond-belief-PINK scarf. It was a five yarn (I believe) knit stitch scarf, absolutely beautiful (in my humble opinion) and one of my favorites.
Needless to say, she was a bit shocked and asked him why he had her scarf. He said simply that he liked it. “But it’s pink”, she said – to which he replied, “Who’s cares? It’s soft and really warm! I like it!”
All I can say is – Bless that practical young man! And of course he has such good taste! 
I’m going to make him his own Blue & Red one for this holiday season – his mother tells me they’re his favorite colors.
