The Interminable Crochet Scarf
I would guess I'm 2/3rds done. Sheesh. Will the misery ever end? I will not buy variegated yarn anymore, unless it's a very subtly-done sock yarn. It's too hard to find a suitable project, and when you have to resort to crochet....bleh. I should mention that it's the short-repeat variegation that's so hard to deal with - when the repeats are so long as to result in stripes, the results are much more pleasing.
My camera battery is dead and my camera case, with the charger in it, is MIA - although I suspect it's hiding out at my office, the one place I haven't had time to check lately. Anyway, that's why I have no pic to share yet.
But what this blog entry is REALLY all about is a subject I have not seen on any of the other knitting blogs yet: What are we all going to be knitting while we watch the Olympics? It's a great swath of quality TV that's well-suited to knitting, and I don't have a project lined up yet! Of course, there is that Herringbone pullover that's sitting in a clump on the kitchen counter... But really, I think the Olympics are deserving of an exciting new project.
I foresee a visit to a yarn shop this week.
