Project Status

One week from today I will have a completed scarf. Well, I'm sure it will be done before that. I'm currently hovering around four feet in length, the target being six. I've added fringe to one end, and I've weaved in loose ends. Not a fan of going back and working the yarn in, it feels kind of aimless and haphazard, so I'm going to try crocheting over the loose ends when I add my next ball of yarn, I'm hoping that I'll have more confidence in the security of the loose ends without caving and just tying them off, which will look bad. The project tends to weave in and out a bit in its width, but honestly something only really noticeable when you fold it over and start comparing. At some point I lost a stitch, this almost put me to tears, but seeing that time is a constraint, I got over it and pushed forward. I got bored last week and started playing with how I was going to add another color to each side. Instead of making two separate pieces and then seaming them together on the scarf, I decided to just crochet right onto the finished product. With this, I'm hoping to help disguise any varying widths, and add a new texture to the scarf. So excited about all of this. Just wish I had a camera around whenever I started to work on it so I can illustrate the gradual process.
