A New Year, A New KAL

I have been contemplating the yarn I will use to make this scarf - I haven't purchased it yet, but will stop by the yarn store on Wednesday. A blog friend made one for a Christmas gift and I was struck by the simplicity and strength of the pattern. Hmmm, what to choose - a traditional Aran off white or a stunning color. I'm off to check out what others have done and will post my yarn as soon as it comes home.
