A hard day of unproductive work in academia’s eyes. This will come in handy when I’m trekking to classes // Yarn: Joann
There was a clear winner today, no doubt about that. The impending winter started showing its ugly head with a sun no where to be found, spot showers, and bursts of winds that likened me to Marilyn Monroe as I walked to Chapter meeting in my Pin Attire dress.
I started this scarf in the morning when I couldn’t peel myself out of bed.

I spent the night at Heather’s since she’s a Townie (aka someone who is from Kirksville). As soon as I pulled out the yarn to begin this morning, her three-legged cat, Ron, was all about it. That’s him staring me down waiting for his chance to attack.
I finished it when I went to the library foolishly thinking I would get any real work done.

Thank goodness I finished. Naturally, the library is freezing right about the time heat should be kicking on.
I don’t think there is a good way to explain any crocheting technique in words. It is very much a craft that requires trial and error, or visuals, or a person next to you who knows what heck they’re doing. That’s how I learned. It was finals week last year, and I was grabbing at anything to do that wasn’t studying every chance I got. Luckily, so was my good friend Heather who more than happily took breaks from Econ to explain to me the way of the loop.
Here are a few links to YouTube tutorials that I found helpful when Heather wasn’t around:
