Mary Jane's Scarf

Sometime last November my mother asked me for a pattern book.  I had just bought a new one and she was in between projects.  She was looking for quick project and my new book by Mary Jane Butters had plenty of them.  Mom made the hexagon scarf in variegated fall colors.  She wore it to a Christmas party and then left it draped over her bedroom door knob, where I found it in February and took home.

I've had the book out for several weeks now and have been entertaining myself with looking at the pictures.  Finally I started reading the stories within the book.  When I came to the story and pattern for the scarf I was blown away.  I had put a note on the pattern that Mom had made it and found a correction in the pattern.  The story was how Mary Jane had gone to her mother's home after her mother's death and stayed and just went through her things, finding hexagons everywhere.

How odd that Mom had read that story while she was dieing and that I was now reading it 1 year later.

I had thread handy, and needle, so I started another scarf, all in purple this time.
