Long overdue

So here it is, 61 inches long, a few hairs over 4 inches wide. I did finish a few month back, but just haven't focused on the blog. Truthfully, I look at it and feel an incredible sense of pride. I've recieved several complements on it, some solicited, others not. I'm proud of it because first I wasn't sure I'd actually finish it. I couldn't pick up the sticks without feeling some pangs of the heart, but I didn't want to let that be the reason I turned my back on something I genuinely enjoy. I've already decided on a new project. Another scarf. I know, not that challenging, but it's for my mom. I had someof the yarn from her hat left over so I tried to find something that was more or less match. I don't think I have an eye for color, so I may have messed it up, but the yarn I went with is hand dyed with different shades. I'll probably start at the end of the summer. I don't much feel like handling handling wool with sweaty sticky hands. Can you blame me?
