Okay, I am not one of those knitting people who thinks buying anything knitted is sacrelige. Some things are complicated to make by hand (colorwork, lace), some things are just too big/would take forever (sweaters, etc), or a lot of the time they just cost much more to make than it does just to buy. But then I go to the store with Jerry and see this and go "... That is almost exactly like the third thing I ever made." (The first two were a garter stitch scarf and a bag. I did take a break from the cabled scarf to work on a shrug though.) I could buy more yarn than you'd need for it for <$20, and while scarves can take a while, it's not that complicated.
