The yarn was "newpaper print" by Red Heart. It matches his hat that I made him back at the end of October.
On another note, I have my work cut out for me the next few days. I'm cleaning out my old desk, and will be removing it from the last room with carpet in it. Dogs and cats both have ruined the carpet (and the desk), so once the carpet is pulled, I will need to check the subfloor, treat it most likely and paint the room eventually.
I have not used the desk since we completely replaced half of the kitchen floor/joists 2 years ago) However, the first concern is a storage area in the same room that is underneath the stairway. We have discovered that it has huge gaps in the drywall corners, and it needs completely enclosed/replaced (after the carpet is removed). As the temperature dips, field mice look for warmer spaces (hence the drywall project in the storage area).
In order to crawl into the under-stairway storage area, the desk needs to be removed first (it's a small room).
In the meantime, mouse traps are set in the storage area, and project 6995847 (ha ha!) begins.
I'm going to need more coffee today.

The hat and scarf are both beautiful and I'm sure that your husband will be loving them during these cold months.
I'm sorry about your storage area issues. It's always something isn't it? I just got home from the walk-in clinic. I have a doozy of a sinus infection going on. No surprise there at all. Antibiotics will be onboard soon.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Hello Kristina!
1. Fabulous scarf! The colorway looks great. I'm sure your husband appreciates the warmth. What state do you live in? That's really cold! I'm in southern Missouri. We're so close to the border, it feels more southern here than midwestern.
2. Oh, the project you have in that room! We lived in the country and had field mice pop in uninvited, too. We're going to have to have the floor replaced in our bathroom sometime soon. Water leaks are merciless.
3. I'm so proud of you for reducing by 2 totes. You've been real estate investing! You now have more cubic feet in your home!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

Oh, I like the colors in that scarf.
Betsy, thank you so much. He loves them both. I sure hope you are feeling better soon. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage, thank you. I was thrilled the colors match his coat for very cold days here. We are in Ohio, and some of my neighbors have no power due to the winter winds we got last night. Yes, home projects are not always fun, but I do feel so much better when they are done.
Debby, thank you! I can't remember where I obtained the yarn, but it came in a 3 pack.
