But through it all, I DID make progress on the Doctor Who Scarf. Not quite the 200 rows I'd hoped for, but the end is in sight and I'm confident that I'll be finished by the Nov. 15th deadline.
I've added 179 rows: 30 camel, 8 rust, 16 grey, 8 mustard, 42 green, 10 purple, 8 bronze, 14 rust, 28 camel, 8 mustard, and 7 green. The scarf now measures 8'3"!
My biggest concern at this point is that I'm starting to run out of yarn. I'm all out of camel and I have 52 rows left. Hardly any mustard, but I've got 10 more to do. Do I buy more yarn or just improvise with the colors?
In addition to the 129 rows left to knit, I also need to make 14 tassles, 7 for each end. Each tassle is supposed to be made up of 7 1-foot long strands, each of a different color. That's 98 feet of yarn needed just for the tassles - even if I just make do with the colors I have left, I don't know if I will have enough!
Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of the Doctor Who Scarf...

You look like Harry Potter! I cannot believe how big it is!

Does in HAVE to be 200 rows? Is Kim going to count them? Isn’t it long enough to cover her as it is?
Just a thought. I know you’re a perfectionist.

Yes, Mom, it DOES have to be 832 rows exact! I know it will cover her but the point is not to provide coverate. The point is overkill. Doctor Who wore a ridiculously long scarf and so shall Kimie!
And yes, I AM a perfectionist :) Wonder where I inherited that?!?
Here, here, Annette! I agree...but Linda IS a P!
It is a beautiful scarf, and I hope Kimmie sends it down through the generations as a cherished heirloom. Linda, look at the cartoon in today's Daytona News Journal...
