Guess what blogfans? I’ve done it, I’ve done it, I’ve finally gone and done it!
YAAAY! Woo hoo! Hurrah for me!
What’s that you ask? No, I have not broken up the Clooney marriage and snagged George for myself. Pffft.
No, I did not quite manage to finagle the million dollar publishing contract. Yet. Just hang in there with me, my loyal peeps.
But I did finally finish something today I set out to do two years ago Thanksgiving and it’s pretty darned exciting if I do say so myself. With only hours to spare as the sun sinks lower in the sky on the last day of 2017 I give you… dun da da dun…
THE COMPLETED SCARF!
I was like a knitting terrorist… knitting for two years, off and on, mostly off, not knowing how to stop. I have a rule that I go to YouTube only for entertainment, never to learn things, and I couldn’t figure out how to stop from printed text, but luckily I remembered that I also have a rule that rules are to be broken…whew! Off to YouTube I scampered, searched for how to end a scarf, found an easy peasy bind off for dummies, and viola.
My scarf is cozy extravagance and I will love it almost as much as Gatsby loves his kitty tunnel (just using up a bunch of prompt words like a good OCDer, don’t mind me, ignore this sentence, thx). Now, like a true creative, I’m immediately jonesing to begin my next project, which will be a (somewhat) self-designed cross-stitch. Stay tuned for deets!
Wishing all my readers a happy and healthy 2018!

Very nice. Also, that silver streak in the front of your hair is fantastic, if I may say so without sounding like a stalker.

Congrats. You unspired me to see how crocheting was coming along as it sits in a pretty bag in the closet.
