So, yesterday, after way too long (sorry my baby), I finished Natalie's throw. It turned out nearly as beautiful as she is:
So... let's see here. I have made a scarf for myself. I made a scarf for my Uncle Bobby (I wonder if he wears it?). I made a scarf for my son. And now, I have made two throws.
Yesterday, I started on my Giants scarfs for Trent, Natalie, and myself. I did one pattern that I have been looking soooo forward to doing...I hated it. I did about 50 rows and ripped it out. I then looked online and got a different pattern. This involved a double knitting procedure. I did about 10 rows. I loved the double knitting, but... oh, my gosh...that one scarf would have taken me 3 years to finish!! Not only that, I think with the pattern of the double knitting would be better with a smaller needle and not so thick of yarn. It was hard to make out that those were hearts. I think anyway. I will definitely do that pattern, though, in the future, with different yarn and needles. So...I decided that I knew what I wanted, so I made my own pattern!!! I know, right?!?! Genius!! So...I have done about 25 rows of it and....I hate it!!! Natalie says she likes it, so I will continue to do it for her. I think I will comb the net in the next few days and find something that I love! My guess is...I will be ripping out this third attempt at my Giants scarf. Being a perfectionist is NOT all it is cracked up to be!
I also have yarn to do a wrap. The pattern I have uses cable needles, which kinda excites me a bit. I have put this off because the Giants have their first game in April and I would like to have our scarves done by then. But, I may go ahead with this and put the scarves off until I find something that I love and want to do. Decisions....decisions....decisions.
As far as life goes...well, I have certainly had better days. Going through some rough times and trying to figure some things out. My head is full of many thoughts. Changes and different seasons of life are finally taking a toll on me. I am doing things to help with this journey and I just hope that I find the ones I love at the end of the road.
Much love...
XOXO
