My mother says she doesn’t wear scarves because they are messy and fall apart. And she doesn’t like cowls because they mess up her hair. But she loved this yarn when she saw it. Plus, it matches her clothes. So I’m making her this scarf/cowl thing in the hopes that because it has buttons (so it’ll stay in place), and because it doesn’t go over the head, she’ll use it. We shall see. :)

This is knitting up like a dream. I had a few tough moments there trying to figure out which was the RS versus the WS of the pattern, since it wasn’t listed, but a simple frogging took care of that. I’m trying not to frog this yarn too much because I can tell that it is soooo soft that it will just fuzz like crazy and look pathetic if I do it too much. Luckily, this pattern is super easy so there’s not much of that going on.

Nothing is more satisfying than making absolutely no mistakes, using exactly one skein with not a bit leftover, and finishing just as the best episode ever comes to a dramatic close. Timing is everything, people.
