I am currently working on a scarf.  The link is http://www.talesofthehook.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=2.  I decided to use the yarn I had on hand; which is Red Heart Super Saver Soft White Fleck Color 4318.  I've just finished the scarf.  Here it is.  This makes a short scarf, but you can always add more stitches at both ends and make it longer.
