C'est finis...

It is the turquoise scarf. Those of you who know about any of my projects know that generally what I lack is the motivation for completion. I like to think it’s part of being kind of free spirited, though some might uncharitably call it dilettantism. No matter. I rarely make conventional, functional items, as my kraftworkin’ comrade can tell you. It is unusual that something leaves my hands without being festooned with some alternative material that makes it entirely impractical. I am reminded of a weaving I once made out of twine and sticks in tenth grade. It hung in the guest room for years, thanks to my poor, long-suffering mother. But that is not the case this time! Oh no! This is a real and true gift, meant to be worn by its recipient. I cast on 28 stitches of this turquoise wool and used 4 knit stitches and 2 purls. It was a very meditative project to compete while watching marathons of House as the summer wound to a close.
