and now you know why i titled this blog this way...

...because I am still working on the same silly scarf!!! However, I am almost done, really and truly this time. Like, just a few rows to go. Like, I could probably have finished it in the time it will take me to write this blog post, and I might just do it when I'm done here. And then I get to post triumphant pictures! In fact, I am SO sure that I will finish it soon that I felt confident enough to go buy yarn today for my next project! I am going to make Samuel a pair of mittens that I hope will hold up to the cold and snow this winter, and keep his little fingers warm! We use those little hand warmer thingies that get warm when you unwrap them and go in the boots and mittens. Last year he had gloves, so the warmers didn't quite reach his fingers, but with mittens, he should be all set. Oh, here's the pattern. Yep, another from Knitty - I am all about free. :) But they are totally cute, right? Except that I don't like the colors he chose. I kept trying to gently guide him to choose something different (read: better) but he wanted navy blue and bright kelly green. I just have to keep repeating to myself, "These are not my mittens. These are not my mittens." Deep breath. LOL!
