Scarf : Seven years in the making

About seven years ago a friend of mine gave me my first pair of knitting needles and some beautiful blue yarn. She taught me to knit a basic scarf and I diligently worked on it a little here and there. I would pull it out every winter determined to finish it. Then spring and eventually summer, with 100 degree weather, would come and I couldn't bare the thought of a scarf so it would sadly sit unfinished until the next winter. Well long story short I finally finished it!


I love the rich color contrast between the royal blue and my oh so pale skin. It makes me happy. My own little symbol of perseverance and pride in a completed task. Since I started this project I also learned to crochet and have completed many projects. I think it may be a bit easier for me than knitting but I am glad to know how to do both!
