Got it started

I've been admiring this scarf pattern for a long time and I finally got mine started. (I joined the knit along, hence I had to get it started!) It's Plymouth Encore because I had some left from another project. It's going to be a Christmas present for a member of my library directors group. I think I'll do another one for myself in a more tightly spun wool. I've been enjoying seeing everyone's progress pictures. The pattern seems to look great in any yarn.
