Second verse, same as the first


(Thanks to my lovely assistant Marilyn, for modeling this scarf.)

I started this one after skipping out on international dance class Tuesday Nov. 3, and finished it Sunday night, Nov. 6. Most of the work was done while I sat with hubby watching "Kingdom of Heaven." This was the second set of 2 for $5 Bernat Boa yarns I got at Michael's. I'm sort of tired of working with this eyelash yarn, but today my Mom found a pretty royal blue one for 40% off, so it looks like I'll be making at least one more. These are easy enough to make, however, that I might make a few more for friends. Hopefully with enough practice, they'll start to look less lumpy.

METHOD:
This scarf is from the pattern on the yarn label. It was made from 2 skeins of Bernat Boa yarn in the color "Parrot." I used #11 needles instead of the recommended.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
To pay attention when knitting the last row! I checked to make sure I had enough, and then kitted the whole last row (which was supposed to be bound off!) Since I can't see the stitches in this yarn, I had to rip out about four or five rows before I was able to find the loops to rethread it back on the needle. How frustrating.
