I drew Mark's name for Christmas gift giving. I wanted to knit him something but the question was what to knit him. I knew it was going to have to be something special and something luxurious in order for him to want to wear it.
I went into my LYS (local yarn shop) and told the owner that I was looking for the highest quality, softest yarn that I could buy with my $30 budget. She showed me the Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran. It's 100% extra fine merino wool. The owner says it's just one step away from cashmere. It was so soft. I picked 3 balls of the rich red.
I knit "The New York Scarf" pattern. I like the simple rib design for men. 
I hope he likes his scarf because I enjoyed knitting it for him.
