From Hells Heart, I Stab at Thee...Would-be Scarf!

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I messed up the scarf for H. It is unsavable and must be begun again from the beginning.

According to this confusing-ass crochet book for beginners, I forgot to do a "turning chain" for the new row. As such, my line of single stitches kept getting smaller and smaller. Plus I have a hard time figuring out what part is the top, because it was getting all curly... and not a bald and hilarious curly.

Plus, doing just one row takes like, fifteen minutes and hardly looks like anything at all. I worked on it for 2 hours and just had this tiny, curly mess. I suck so bad.

Is there an easier stich than the single stich, or does it just not get dumbed down any more than that?

You win this round, Yarn-Related-Arts!

Sigh.




While I'm here though, please enjoy A Christmas Story in 30 Seconds by Bunnies. I advocate these Angry Alien folks highly. So if you haven't been watching them, get on over there!!

Impromptu Photos

I saw this tree out the window and had to get dressed, go out there and take some pictures of it. It was just that beautiful. Of course my picture doesn't really do it justice, but since I took it, I figured I might as well post it. It was still snowing out, obviously. Most of them turned out like big spotty blobs. But not so much this one:




Having to hear noisy neighbor children is almost worth it when I go outside and see something like this:

Snowmen made by neighbor kids.

Ah, seasons. There really are no bad ones!
