It's Friday again already isn't it? I seem to be a Monday/Friday blogger here lately. I want to be more like a Monday/Wednesday/Friday blogger, but somehow those three days in the middle usually turn into a blur of ordinary days with lots to do but nothing that memorable to blog about.
Anyway, after we came home from my birthday dinner on Sunday evening while we waited for everyone to come over to the house, I picked up my unfinished scarf sitting on the kitchen table and started working on the fringe. (I don't know what it is with the last 10% of a project, but so often that last 10% of the project seems to take me as long as the first 90% of the project did. Anyone else have that problem?) I cut up the last of the yarn skein for all the fringe pieces and then realized after cutting up the last piece of yarn that I hadn't crocheted the edging on the other scarf edge to attach the fringe to.
I also realized that just having slurped down two pomegranate margaritas while celebrating my birthday dinner might justa had something to do with my dumb mistake....
This then facilitated one more trip to the craft store fifteen miles away for one more skein of yarn for two small rows of stitches... Which also means I now have one more whole skein of my favorite yarn just needing to be the start of another scarf/hat/something.... it's never ending with me.
Lesson learned here: Don't drink and crochet. It's just dangerous.

You're funny! Your "drinking and crocheting" is a whole lot better than I could do without one sip! It's pretty, Kelly!

LOVE the scarf! I've made my fair share of knitting mistakes, like twisting the first row on a round needle, which means you have to cast on again...

That's one expensive scarf, thank you for the excuse to not start that beanie yet!
