THE EPIC GIFT SCARF PROJECT SECRET...THING. IS DONE (finally)
Not that it's horrible, more that it's a terror to make because it takes so much time, the way I did it.
Today alone, I worked on it for about three hours during the afternoon and then from 9pm to... now. So today alone I spent almost 10 hours (granted, sewing it shut took ages) and I was 98% done before today. I must have worked on this at least 25-30 hours. But SO WORTH IT.
I also got the scarf done before I see my boyfriend tomorrow after babysitting. Mission accomplished!
Okay, so. Fibonacci scarf. It's a math thing, the pattern.
What it looked like when I just got it off the needles.
Final product.
The pattern also does cool things when you turn the scarf like this:
PS if i need to LJ cut this for pics just someone tell me because i'm like so tired i'm dead right now and am going to bed soon so i can get up in like three hours. kthx.
In other news: I'm basically going to be internet dead for the rest of the week, so I think I can check my f-list once before I sleep at night, or maybe twice depending on the day but that's about it for me. Not too much activity. I'm babysitting 60 hours in 8 days this week. Already did 8 hours yesterday. Then it goes something like 8, 8, 10, 8, 10, 8. for the next seven days. no tv, no internet, but I do have a 1 year old to care for and a DVD player and lots of dvds that I think I've seen so many times I could quote them all. gonna bring new ones this week. am i going to die? maybe.

And at least a lot of babysitting means more money. But it's too bad you can't stay here with us...

Ugh, babysitting. But, yay money. Best of wishes, and hope to have you back soon!
