She hates wool

It's hard to knit for my daughter. She loves the idea of me making things for her, but hates the feel of wool on her head, hands, neck, face, body, feet, legs... This makes things difficult. I love wool, and hate to knit with anything else. But I do love B more than I love wool and so I'm making her a scarf to keep her darling neck warm in the -20C and colder temperatures we've been having. It's Alison Hanson's Sideways Scarf (scroll down a smidge for the pattern) or Ravel it, knit up with Bernat Satin in Admiral and a Dollarama Fun Fur/Chenille with Bumps 2 ply. I wanted it nice and long so I've cast on 280 sts on a 4.5mm circ and am in the process of knittng and knitting and knitting and knitting.

So far she loves it!
