Look, Look, A Finished Project!

Remember the alpaca yarn scarf I blogged about way back last September 8th? (What?? You mean my critically important feeble-brained ramblings aren't important enough to occupy a vital spot in your mental data base? Hrumpf.)

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I managed to get to the yarn shop to purchase the second skein of yarn that I needed to finish it. With that in hand, for the last few nights I've spent our relaxing time before bed cozied up in my recliner with needles click-clacking away. And last night --- drum roll, please --- I finished it, with about two yards of yarn to spare. (Good time to decide it was long enough.)

Here I am modeling said scarf. (Ugh. Does anyone like to have their picture taken? I mean other than maybe Cindy Crawford? I asked my husband to model the scarf but he just gave me a really funny look. And I couldn't get the dog to hold still.)

I tried to get a shot that would show the braided, twisted cable effect of the pattern, but not being a competent enough photographer had to settle for this. Really looks much better in person.

But, hey! I've got something done AHEAD of time . . . it's not even scarf wearing weather yet.
