It's been like forever

Loops started nagging me almost a month ago to make a blog post.  Obviously I don't really listen to him.  He should know by now I do things in my own time and cannot be rushed into anything.  Not to mention I had nothing to blog about.  I needed to finish a project or have something exciting happen before bothering to post anything.  Sadly, nothing exciting has happened, but I did finish something I've been working on for a bit. So...

At Christmas I promised my favorite sister I'd knit her a new scarf so she could keep warm and cozy while hiking and whatnot.  Soon after Christmas I purchased the yarn for her scarf (Loops picked the color.) and got to knitting.  I soon started regretting my choice of pattern because seed stitch is so tedious and boring, but I'm glad I stuck with it because this is one warm and cuddly scarf.

I love infinity scarves.  They are very easy to wear either double wrapped as above or worn draped around the neck  like below.

I hope Stacy likes it.  Now just to wash it and get it ready to send to her.
