Just slowly.
Very slowly.
How slowly? Well, what you will see below is a scarf being blocked, out of yarn purchased in December of 2010. I cast on in January, and so it was taken me about five to six months to complete a fairly simple scarf with a four row pattern repeat. Not quite as long as it takes to make a human baby, but more than four times as long as it takes to make a litter of baby squirrels, and squirrels are idiots, so yes. I am officially slower than fuzzy rodents.
Unorthodox blocking items: chess board, book, external hard drive, CD case. Sigh. I need to get some pins out here. Glamour shots of the scarf coming some time in the next week. Pattern: Pavement, by Jared Flood
Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca #6281
Needles: 4mm straights
Notes: No matter how squishy the yarn, cables get really tedious after a few weeks. I would love to keep this scarf, but it's being sent away as a surprise gift for a friend. Unless I buy a scarf, cut off the labels and send that instead. Now there's a plan.
