I haven’t knitted in awhile, as I said before. But knowing I was going to be down for a few days, I went and dug up a few UFOs (unfinished objects) to work on and hopefully complete after much procrastination. I had promised Dwayne to finish his project some time ago, and yesterday afternoon I finally did. I also finished another baby hat to add to my pile for donation, so I felt pretty good about that. While putting the hat in the bag in the closet, I came across a few bags full of yarn, and remembered that I was supposed to knit a hooded scarf for my mom for Christmas. So…now was the time to go ahead and start.
See, I cracked a tooth last week, and after many phone calls and much frustration, I finally found a dentist that could get me in. He got me in and scheduled me for the beginning of a lot of dental work I had been putting off. WONDERFUL man, and an even more wonderful assistant named Wendy. She helped me through all of this, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The pain has been really terrible, and without her, I don’t think I could have made it–I know that the pain is completely worth having it all fixed, but I know that you have to have someone there to hold your hand, and I am not above asking.
Anyway, I am about one skien into the scarf. Looks like it will be needing about 5 or 6 to get through it since it is wide and thick. It is also very soft, and I think I am going to use the same type of yarn for another project I have in mind. Thinking about these scarfs and how I keep getting frustrated with doing the same thing over and over, I have come up with a few new ideas for patterns, and I really hope they pan out. It will be awesome, and maybe I can learn how to put them up for sale on my blog. **SIDE NOTE: If anyone out there knows how to put things up for sale on a blog, PLEASE let me know!! Thanks in advance!!**
I’ll put up the pictures of my finished project later. I need to download them from the camera, and right now, being drugged to the eye-teeth, I don’t feel like doing much more than lie here on the couch. Happy Monday everyone!!
