You may recall my mention of this scarf back in 2015 when I was resolving to complete unfinished projects...
When Wesley and I were engaged in the fall of 2013 we picked out this yarn together and I started knitting away.
It's been so long that I honestly don't even remember the details that led to that happening but I think it was something down the lines of:
Wesley: Scarves are never long enough to wrap around my neck and tuck into my coat right.
Me: Really? Pick some yarn out and I can knit you one!
.....who knew I meant I could with four years time? :P
So, I've finally completed it and in time for the cold season four years later. Obviously I never worked very faithfully on it or it wouldn't have taken so long. I am by no means a fast knitter but this fall when I got it back out to work on and did so in every minute of spare and idle handed time I made good progress and more than doubled what had taken me three years thus far. My problem was always paying enough attention to knitting in order to keep up with the pattern so this year with being home alone so many evenings, the girls tucked sleeping into bed, I would work for a couple hours or just half an hour a night and it went pretty quickly.
I am so very excited to have finished this and I'm pretty sure Wesley is more excited to finally have it.
You did a very nice job! Thanks for sharing some pictures, it looks great! I'm sure Wesley is glad to wear it , finally. :)
