This is a looooong scarf. I have never made a scarf this long. The total length is supposed to be like 70-some inches. I’m probably somewhere around 40-some inches right now. Strangely, it simultaneously feels like this thing is knitting up quickly and taking forevvvvver to get done. Really, I only cast on two weeks ago, and I’ve been working on it a little bit just about every day since then — longer on weekends. (Actually, now that I’ve made that statement, it seems like it’s taking forever to get done. But it really does seem to go fast… oops, there I go again.) Pardon the crappy photo of the scarf on the green sofa — it was nighttime, in the living room, and the photo came out really dark so I had to photoshop the heck out of it. The photo from my previous blog post is closer to the real colors.
Anyway, I’m really loving this yarn. It’s Araucania Ranco, one hank of multi and one hank of solid, fingering weight sock yarn. I really, really, really want to make socks out of it too. And speaking of socks, I can’t wait to start another pair of socks. Really. I was thinking of starting another pair of socks before finishing the scarf… but I’m afraid I’ll get all caught up in the socks and the scarf will end up taking a long snooze on the needles. Gotta get the scarf done first. I mean, it’ll be done in no time — it knits up so fast! (But it seems to take forever… hmmm, that sounds familiar.)
