Let's get started

I received my pal from the international scarf Exchange III today and have so many ideas that nothing is coming together. This is the first time I've done something like this and have to admit that I am a bit intimidated by the pictures of her knitting on her blog. I've sort my yarns and searched the internet. I've emailed her with suggestions. After all of this I remembered that I had purchased some soft Merino yarn for myself a scarf in a deep rich red, one of the colors she said she likes. This might be the one. I hope so or at least that I don't keep locking until the night before the scarf is due.
