8/02/10: Started this at knit-night. Completed 4 reps before bed :) Lovely & quick pattern :) Needed a bit of a break after the last one.
8/14/10: Am up to the 10th point & am seeing most got 19 or 20 before starting to dec, so am at approx 25% :)
8/31/10: started on the dec portion while at Symphony under the sky on 8/22; haven’t done much work on it since.
9/04/10: Have only 40 some sts left, so am very close to being done :)
9/10/10: Finished!!!! Have about 1/3 of the ball left; only did 18 points on each side as was nervous about amount of yarn :p Love it :) Must do more!!!

Additional photos: 
In progress: The side-to-side construction and garter stitch fabric really breaks up the variegated colors nicely. Increasing side is finished and the knitting is 4 edging points into the decreasing side.
9/02: decreases are established :)

The beginning! 3 lace points of the edging and a thin triangle of the scarf body
8/02: It begins!
