ToDAY is the Birthday of Grandma Lucy Holmes 87

Fair. I finished my scarf except for the fringe!!! 
I finished it off by myself but it was a little too tight. I may ask Carolyn's mother to help me.  It is [[drawing of arrow down]]

It is practically even on the edges.

I plan to make fringe.  

[[right margin]]It is beautiful.[[/right margin]]

It is 3 feet and 
4 inches long without 
the fringe. Just a little 
bit shorter than mother's 
scarf. It is 490 rows 
in brown, red + yellow. I did all of it except for a little bit of yellow 
(few rows) that Carolyn's 
mother took out and knitted back in for me because there was a hole.
