I have been working on this scarf for two years.  Oh, a simple skinny scarf knitted on 10 gauge needles with black wool yarn shouldn’t take two years, but you know how it is.  I’d get busy and put it down for awhile.  One of my original bamboo needles got too badly warped to knit with.  The aluminum needles my ex lent me got warped and were just hard in my hands.

Basically, all I had were excuses, excuses, excuses.

This fall, I made it my mission to finish this scarf before it got too warm to warm.  Luckily, I just finished it last week.  Huzzah!  Finally, a winter with a warm scarf!

I’ve started working on my next project, a scarf knitted with striped eyelash yarn.  I have some photos of the beginnings of it, but I’m going to tear it all out and restart it.  I realized that I had cast on way too many stitches to make a scarf out of only two skeins.

These are the things that are keeping me slightly sane this Christmas.  Well, that and paper crafts, but considering that some of them are being incorporated into my Christmas gifts for family, I’m going to have to wait to post them until this weekend.

Our impending move is really stressing and tiring me out.  I’m hoping that once we move and get internet in the new apartment, I’ll keep up on my blog the way I was over the summer.  Until then, I’m rolling with sporadic updates and trying to keep from referring to vodka as “medicinal.”
