Are you ready for this? You sure?
Now admittedly, when I say “finished” I mean “I knit one more round in solid color, then grafted the ends shut and called it done.” It’s what I suppose you would charitably call a “scarflette,” being only 49 inches long.
But as I was casting my eye around last weekend, it landed on the Liz Lemon Scarf entombed in its project box. And I realized that if I waited until I had knit it to a proper length, it would never be done. After all, I started it in August 2009.
It’s very warm, being basically four layers of yarn. In fact, I’m wearing it right now, because my place is cold. Not complaining; just stating a fact. 52 degrees. Inside.
Here’s its full length, reclining on the bench in front of the post office:
A heads-up: no Sims Sunday this week. Sims Sunday will return on the 9th!
That is beautiful! And a stunning achievement! You should be proud. Happy new year! Stay warm.
wow.
Smiling at yer purty scarflette.
Pouting at the thought of no Sims Sunday this week. (Especially as I have to go back to work on Monday.
Ah well, good things come to those who whine and complain and then sensibly sit quietly and wait.
Double points for that FO!
52 inside? Argh! At 60 I shiver too hard to knit…
Very nicely done! Excellent accomplishment!
That is just beautiful – what an amazing thing you have done!
Hi–Very pretty. Thank you for writing your blog. I enjoy reading it.
Thanks, everyone! And sorry about Sims Sunday – but its absence will only make its return sweeter!
Great scarflette! And just in time, considering your ambient temp.
La Liz looks lovely! And 49″ of quad yarn should be plenty.
That is so cool about the tombstone.
Also – 52 degrees? Inside? I’ve got the heater on 72 and I’ve got a wool blanket over me (a WIP. It’s one way to work on it.)
