When I first started knitting, my gram bought be enough Patons tweed yarn to make two scarves with. Being the ambitious beginner I was, I pounded out one garter scarf with a few mistake purl rows thrown in and pushed it on my supportive boyfriend. After that I craved more complicated things and more yarn.
Thus I forgot about most of the tweed yarn until I made a sad, little headband...and then forgot about the rest again. Since then I've attempted at least 3 different scarves with the remaining yarn [I honestly love this yarn and am determined it should be used as it was meant to be] but get bored and restless and....blah about each one. Scarves and I don't really seem to match.
Finally in desperation I decided to try my hand at a cowl scarf for this yarn. So I looked up a basic cowl pattern on ravelry, cast on the recommended stitches, and went my own way from there. Surprisingly it's holding my attention and is now almost done. Finally a compatible love for my yarn and style that has made me vow to never [ok, maybe not never] knit a long-ass scarf again; it will all be cowl scarves or cute, short scarves that look like a mix between ascots and bow ties [oh, left-over alpaca yarn, do I have a plan for YOU!].
the end.
