Back to work and school!

Well, after a great summer break, the kids are back to school (my baby started Kindergarten!) and I am back to work!  Needless to say, life has become instantly busy!  So, I decided to start another project, because I have too much time on my hands :)  This is a scarf for my hubby.  I am using size 5 needles, the yarn is 100% alpaca (that I got a great deal on).  I am doing a simple 4x4 rib.  I started it with a garter stitch border and stockinette inside, but I didn't like how it was looking, so I frogged it and started over.  I think this will be much better.  The yarn is really soft and warm!  I hope to have this finished by the beginning of October.
