So, here’s the danger of having a scarf as purse knitting:
That’s a yooge scarf there, folks.
I made this my purse knitting after I finished my GWTF socks. A row here, a row there, a whole mess of rows while I was trying to tune out the guy at the tire place telling me in graphic detail about his rectal cancer… I pulled the scarf out last night to see how much longer it would have to be; it was already at 72″, and I still had to do the snappy little point. Surprise!
This has long been the ignored middle child of my WIPs, so I’m glad that I can stop feeling bad about neglecting it. It’s done just in time for the lovely humid days of August.
That look on my face says, “I am wearing a scarf, and it is 95 degrees out. Perhaps this knitting thing has gone too far.”
