Ooooooooo....just in time for holiday gift making or colder weather.

The Meadowlark's Foot Infinity Scarf has been revisited

Scarf with No Border/Edge.

This is Astri's daughter; she is so proud of her!

It's snowing and this scarf is keeping her warm.

Scarf with DC cluster border.

(This is a rare selfie of Astri, can you imagine how many tries this took 

due to being in the last year of my fifties??? Ack!)

Scarves are good for that neck thing, ya know.
