brother-in-law scarf

My brother-in-law, David, has been wanting a scarf for well over a year. While it certainly doesn't take me a year to knit a scarf, it has taken me that long to decide on a plain pattern. I wonder if I would make a decision quiker if it was a more interesting pattern. That is something to think about. Anyway, he's an accountant and the triple stripe might be steppin' out a bit. The tails all need weaving, but all-in-all will go to the recipient asap.
