Wow! She's finally done!
Pattern: Knitty's Danica
Yarn: Knit Picks Merino Style in Asparagus and Cinnamon (1.5 balls each)
Notes: Love the look, hate the process. Ugh, if this weren't for my ISE, I would never have finished this baby. I definitely tried to think happy thoughts about my pal while I picked up the billions and billions of stitches and turning the work over and over and over again. That was pleasurable, but if this would have been for me, or ANYONE ELSE, I so would have tossed it aside. Entrelac is cool looking, but for me, not cool knitting.
But...
...she's just so darned purty! I love the way all the turns go back and forth, like woven cloth. So friggin' cool. I am super happy with it and I hope my pal will be too. I didn't block it, because, personally, I like it all fuffy (yes, that's a word) and I wanted to give my pal the option. I promise I am not being lazy about it, k?
Now that this is done, I am off to begin this...
I loved making my entrelac...turning back and forth was annoying, but the result was worth it!

I have the same scarf languishing in the naughty corner. I may have to wip the bad boy back out =)

Skylar, that scarf is lovely! I love that color combo. Lucky ISE, that.
I keep forgetting to tell you that I'm in east LA (you asked in one of my comments), so kind of far away from Long Beach. But maybe no too far if I hop down there to check out yarn stores some time (or vice-versa!).
xox, J

Yes! You did it! And it turned out gorgeous, m'dear. Kudos to you for sticking it out when most others would have tossed that thing on the UFO pile. Are you ready to cast on for the cardi? I'm wavering...

That is one gorgeous scarf. I love it! In spite of your warning, now I want to make one for myself! And your colors are really compelling. Yea, finished!

SO pretty. Send it to me instead. ;)
I was thinking about making one for myself...but you know, I wasn't thinking about it THAT hard, and you kinda just talked me out of it, which is probably a good thing. I have visions of starting it and seeing it flying across the living room while I shout expletives.
That sweater is BEEYOOTEEFUL.
