My swirl scarf. I started it waaaaaaay back it in October 2008. Longest running WIP for me, thank.you.very.much. Here it is about a week ago. Now everyone I know who has survived, er, I mean finished this scarf likens knitting up all these hexagons to eating potato chips; once you get going you just can’t stop. Well, I am here to tell you my friends, I am full. I have four damn potato chips to eat, and I am going to gag them down. This scarf will not defeat me. I will finish it by Sunday. Four hexagons times 40 minutes for each hexagon equals 160 minutes, I can do it.
It’s in the past

i have this pattern…and the yarn…but the idea of eleventyjillion hexagons is a huge barrier to my starting this…way to go for finishing..it is very very beautiful and will be treasured.
Lovely scarf – my neighbor just finished this project and it is stunning. Close your eyes, plug your nose, open wide and just go for it!
Boy do I ever hear you (here I interject sister for effect), Sister. I have several, ummmm, more than several projects that daunt me just like this. Long scarves in ribbing with a random cable really bother me, leftover sock yarn blanket (really when is that ever a good idea), a shawl here, a sock there. Why do we get bored of our projects? Good luck, get r done! I can't wait to see it all blocked out and beautiful.
You can do it, my friend! If the thought of wearing it when you're done still makes you gag, I'll be happy to help….
Yes you can!!! ~And then after you finish your 'plate' – you may have dessert. :0)
