A Scarf for Brad

This scarf has been on the needles for ummm.......yeah....over a year. It's not that it takes me that long to knit a scarf but.....I guess I wasn't in the mood for it. I forced myself to finish it since we've been having cold spells lately.

Unfortunately while this was on the needles I lost an entire skein of the grey wool. How? I have no clue. I tore this place apart looking for it and I know one day I will find it in the most bizarre place. So it's not quite as long as he wanted but it will do the trick. He likes to pick out yarn for the stuff I make him, and it's easy since there are great yarn shops in Victoria.

Actually I think I've moved beyond knitting scarves now and want more challenging projects. Next up - perhaps a hoodie or something cute for my nephew. He seems like good target practise for future knitting projects.

Oooh nice scarf!

I never knit scarves 'cuz I get bored while doing them. Too much repetition. I love knitting mittens 'cuz they go fast and you change what you are doing.

I think things for kids are great because they don't take as long as adult stuff!

Smaller kids make great guinea pigs for new knitting projects! :) I have totally lost my knitting mojo since the summer-- a dozen and some pairs of man socks will do that, hey?

Nice scarf for Brad and good luck branching out!
