I am starting to look at patterns/fibers for my project which is a scarf for this scarf exchange. Now that I have had a few clarifying questions answered, I am confident that I can make something that my partner will like! I have three patterns in mind all from Ravelry.
This Horizontal Wave is first on my list.
Second is this Shifting Sands Pattern.
The third does not have a web address but it is called Knitting Meets Crochet by Suzanne Middlebrooks and Gayle Vickers. It is a fairly simple lace pattern with a croched edging. They used Noro Silk Garden and it looks beautiful.
As for yarns, I am sure I will just end up going to one of our local knitting stores to look, but have been doing some homework online. I like to look at knitpicks. I like how you can look at their patterns and calculate how much the project is going to cost. These are some of my favorite places to shop locally for yarn:
Acorn Street Shop located just north of u-village.
Pacific Fabrics, I normally go to the one in Northgate.
What projects are you pondering?

I have never made the Shifting Sands pattern but it looks so pretty. I also love the name. It sounds zen.
