So, I finished the cable scarf, and it is sitting in the stash of finished goods, awaiting washing and blocking. Now, I have never blocked anything in my life, but I've seen it done, and I think I know how it should work. At least I have the "T" pins . . .
I thought I might, having completed the scarf, get serious about working on THE AFGHAN. That would be the one my daughter yelled for help about. And I did make some progress, to be strictly fair. I am almost done with the 1st of seven panels, so I think that qualifies as something. (I'm just not sure what.)
But to keep to my goal path, I must be unfaithful to the afghan. So, venturing bravely forth, I got out Cat Bordhi's Treasury of Magical Knitting book, my harmony wood cable needle set, and cast on a Moebius scarf. The cast on is strange, but not hard. The knitting is actually kind of fun. But Friday night I decided to be done with the width, and started the I-cord bind off. I thought, okay . . . I've practiced the I-cord bind off . . . no biggie.
THREE HOURS LATER I was done with the bind off, done with the scarf, and just plain done.
(Note to self: allow three days for an I-cord bind off on a Moebius scarf. Rome was not built . . . etc.)
