winter 2004



this was my second project. a scarf for maddie. i tried a different stitch and experimented w/ two colors. again, no pattern but a type of stitch to try and a basic pattern that i wanted to replicate. it's lion brand jiffy in peacock & denver. this was a smaller hook. maybe H? i think it was double or half double stitch and chain 4. obviously these first few projects i didn't keep record of instructions & other pertinent details. with this project i became aware of the need to put down the yarn b4 i'm so tired that i'm seeing cross eyed. when i was weaving in ends, i found quite a few threads too short to weave -as in cut almost right down to the garment. i don't recall if i inadvertantly cut them too short or my little helper (maddie, at the time) decided to take it upon herself to cut the ends. i ended up tying knots in hopes of saving all that work. it turned out nicely regardless.
