A short post to show you what projects I’m trying to finish up…
a bit girly, non?
This one came together really quickly, but I had just a bit more to add to make it long enough. I have this thing with short scarves, I don’t know what it is, but they drive me crazy. If it’s not long enough for me to wrap it around my neck at least once with one end over each shoulder, it’s just too short.
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this scarf since I started it back in October. I love the super-soft baby weight acrylic yarn, it’s like a little puffy cloud of sweetness. I bought a big bag of 6 skeins when it was on clearance last year, and I now wish I’d have bought more it’s so lovely.
Can you see the mistake?
Anyway, the yarn is fantastic, but it’s so thin, and using the 4mm needles does take a long time. The other frustration was when the needles were pulled out – much harder to slip them back in than when using 8s or 10s! I’ve put it away twice to do other things, but need to get it done as it was supposed to be a holiday gift for one of my nieces, but is obviously still not ready. I hope to finish it up by this weekend.
Do you have trouble finishing up your started and almost done projects? It’s so funny, but the closer I am to completing the craft, the slower going it seems to be. Must be because the challenge is over…
