When I hopped over to Vicki's blog, I read about her Pink Scarf Project and decided it was something I would like to participate in.  I was going to Michaels after work I pick up some pink yarn started knitting the following:

The yarn is Patons - Lace Sequin and the pattern is a freebie from their website called Delicate Cables Scarf.
