Drat.

Started the day off with very good intentions.  I loaded the tutorial to make this "Entrelac" scarf.  I was doing great until I realized that I should probably use two different colors of yarn instead of the variegated I had chosen because I had no idea where one block ended and the next started.
So I decided to try again later once I had decided on the colors I would use for the "Entrelac" and I decided to move on to the infamous "Mobius Cowl." 

I cast on following crazy instructions and then realized my needles were too short.  I have to buy Size 10, 36" needles. My 29" needles were not going to cut it.  Foiled again.  Why don't I just go out and buy the needles?  Because the male human is home and he doesn't feel like moving his car.  And I can't move it because it is a stick.  And it is snowing and a million other reasons, so I put that off until he takes his butt back to work tomorrow.


So, I looked at my yarn and decided to use the ravelry feature that takes my stash and finds me something to make with what I have.  I found this lovely scarf.  I'm going to use my Mochi Plus yarn I love so much.  Plus this is called the "Two Weeknight" scarf.  Ha!  We'll see about that.  


And before I kill myself knocking out this 2 nighter, I'm going to make a ruffled scarf from the Chrysalis yarn from Hobby Lobby.  I deserve something easy after the 2 hits to my knitting ego....
