On the one hand yay Finally! a friend is asking me to knit them a scarf, similar to the first one I did for myself.
On the other hand I just lost said scarf. It wouldn't take very long to redo it But. The purple yarn I used back then as since been discontinued. The first substitute I found for it, too. The second one depends either on a 800 km trip to my parents' home region or on ordering online--with uncertainty on the exact colour and added shipping fees. Or, I could use the third substitute yarn I'll be using for their scarf too, but I'm not entirely happy with its hue.
