Winter gear

First, some lovely alpaca mittens that Ivanova made me and I promised ages ago that I would post a pic of them:


To go with them I made the wavy scarf from Knitty using Knit Picks Andean Silk yarn. This stuff is incredibly soft and warm. I highly recommend it. I'm not sure why this pattern got a "tangy" rating from Knitty. The pattern even says that it's easy peasy, as long as you use a row counter.
