First done

Well my scarf is done.  I did a quick post on it over on my blog last night and will have the picture here later. 

I need to qualify my statements regarding the yarn.  From seeing Bridget's and Amy's yarn, as well as my second 4oz skein, there is a wide variance in the quality of it all.  Unfortunately the skein I chose to use first was a nightmare.  It was overtwisted and chock full of twigs and grass, not to mention some plastic like bits and things that looked like ribbon strips.  The second skein was more consistent, softer and just more attractive.  Amy's is downright gorgeous.  Amy also bought hers in person while I bought over the 'net.  Not that that is a bad thing as I tend to buy most of my craft supplies over the 'net and have been more than happy with them.  I probably would have enjoyed this project more had I selected the other skein to start.  At the very least, it was quick, easy knitting project for the train or sitting and watching tv after the evening chores are done, as well as getting me out of my classic wool rut.

Posting pictures

Unfortunately, you guys can't  post anything directly.  You've all done well with the comments and writing those.  Yesterday I added the Recent Comments section to the sidebar so you can more easily identify new/old comments.  As for pictures, you'll need to send them to me, as well as any "post" that you'd like to have in the body proper.  I'll be more than happy to add it for you.  Sorry for this, just a limitation of my account status here.

Hi! Wow! I can't wait to see the finished product.

I frogged mine and started again! am happier with the 4 row repeat it looks nicer. Yes, the yarn is full of stuff. My DH was getting a kick out of all the bits of wood and plastic stuff. I'll send you pictures of before and after frogging. I hope to have mine finished by tonight! Thank goodness for traffic :>
