A Different Sort of Red Scarf Story
Xianglian (a/k/a Shelly) is her name. Motor neurons is her game.
Xianglian and I have a wonderful working partnership. Sadly, she is a graduate student near the end of her academic career, so I won't be working with her much longer. We're only half done the semester, but I'm already sad that it's going to end. But now Shelly has a new scarf to keep her warm this winter and to remember me by.
Specs: This scarf is identical to the "Gwen" scarf. Cascade 220 Superwash, Really Red, in Anne's lacy rib pattern. (linked and reprinted in this entry.)
Ooooo, what a lovely scarf! And how nice that you are enjoying the relationship. Try not to think about the end of the semester, but how great she looks in your warming red goodness!

She looks beautiful in her scarf. Both of you seem to have come out on top, I'd say. :)

She's very beautiful, and the scarf goes nicely with her.

Very pretty! Both graduate and scarf. Best of luck to her.
By the way, you should see the crates of Spam that go to the reserves up north!

Red is a great color for Shelly. I'm sure she will treasure the time you've spent together as well as the scarf, whihc will carry a wonderful memory too.
