Neverending Scarf
The lace ribbon scarf took forever but it's finally finished after FIVE months!
It started innocently enough. How hard can it be? 3ply wool and 2.75mm needles should be ok, right?
Nope, not hard at all. Just monotonous and repititive and seemed to go on forever. I put it down for another project, and then another, and another, picked it up for five minutes and got tired of the slow progress, and started another project, and another. You get the idea.
Two metres of stitches later...

You know what the saddest thing is? I don't love the scarf. I like it. But I'm not in love. The yarn isn't soft and squishy enough and it just drapes limply. I've spent too much time on it to want to give it away so easily. But I think I would eventually when I knit another scarf I actually love. Otherwise, it would just taunt me every time I open the scarf drawer. *shudders
Tip: Save yourself the frustration and use lifelines when knitting this.
