	Hourglass with sleeves Joined the sleeves to the body and I'm working on the raglan decreases. Body is started half-way through so I can see how the yoke fits before deciding how to finish it. Yarn: Noro Iroha in 76.
	Leg warmers started With the cold weather, I decided to make leg warmers to wear. Yarn: Debbie Bliss Wool/Cotton in 125206 and 125202.
	Gramma's Headscarf The start. Based off of the Feather and Fan triangle shawl in Folk Shawls. Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas' Alpaca & Silk in I31.
	More hand-dyed yarn I'm a sucker for some of ReBelle Robyn's hand-dyed yarns. This merino is so soft. Possibly for use as leg or arm warmers in the future.

Niiiice! I wanted to make some of those HP scarves but had problems finding yarn in the stores. Would you suggest ordering online?

There are many sources online, but honestly if you can find a worsted weight yarn in an appropriate color, you are good to go. I made an all wool one for myself out of Cascade 220, which has a fantastic color selection. I've seen ones on the HP knitting community using Red Heart even.

From what I hear, SF has awesome yarn shops, so I think you should be able to find something local. :)
