How is it that Spring Break is over already?! I was just so busy that I didn't get a chance to post. I sat on the couch. I watched a lot of cheesy, bad TV. I napped several times. I ate some snacks. And then poof! Spring Break is over. Next Spring Break I'm going to make sure I make time for "me time" and not be so damn busy.
I did squish a bit of knitting in between the TV watching and napping and snacking.
I'm sure many of you recognize the pattern immediately. This is the ubiquitous "My So-Called Scarf" (ravelry link). I think that the pattern nicely shows off the beauty of the yarn without being overwhelming. I'd like to make a fancier scarf, but considering the prettiness of the yarn on its own, I didn't want to detract from that by having an elaborate cable or lace pattern.
I was chugging along pretty good on the scarf until a few days ago. My hands have been more eczema itchy recently which has made knitting more difficult. But I think they are doing better now after some rest and focus on crossword puzzles (one would think that a book called "Sweet Dreams Crossword Puzzles" would be easy, but you would be wrong... or at least I was wrong... or I'm just as bad at crossword puzzles as I know I am).

Your scarf looks great. The yarn looks gorgeous in that pattern. I've been wanting to make that scarf for at least a year but just haven't found the right yarn for it. Do you mind telling me what it is? I'll check ravelry, too. thanks!!

Perfect yarn for this pattern. I almost knit this once and for some reason something didn't seem right. Maybe I should give it another go. Beautiful and great photos too.

The scarf looks great! I don't think Spring Break was a total waste. :-)
