Curly edges sound kin of cute.

We did matching award scrolls for a couple and I was really tired when doin the second one so I put her name on both of them....had to start all over on the second one. Thank goodness I did the calligraphy before hubs did the illumination.

I don't know that it's any cuter, it's just more round than flat. Edges curlng on a scarf tend to curl all the way in until they meet or just have a big amount that they curl in depending on the yarn used and the size of the project, so it gives kind of a tube scarf illusion without actually being a tube scarf.

Oh no! That's a lot of work to have to start over!

I think it still sounds cute, but my mental image is abstract...

It wasn't super bad. Luckily this award wasn't super wordy, it only took about an hour to redo it. If it ad bee a really verbose award I might have cried. Some of the awards have word counts pushing 500.

So this is not my project, just something similar I found online, but basically this is what is happening on one side of the scarf. The edges are curling/rolling on one side of the fabric.

It looks cozier than the average scarf somehow. I know in theory it isn't, it just looks like it would be.

Actually, it would be a little cozier because the rolled edges would kind of give the scarf a second layer and it would be a bit squishier.
We'll see how I feel about it when it's done. But tbh, I'll probably be too lazy to block it, based on past experience. XD

Yarn everywhere!



I'm not allowed to buy any more yarn until I use up some of this...
XD

Mom has 30-odd banker boxes, about 50 more of those cloth storage cubes, and who knows how much loose stuff hanging around for yarn
You have a while before you get to mom's collection

I don't have the space for that much of a stash. My apartment is only approx 650 square feet in total and I need storage that the cats can't get into. I'll stick with my 6 huge rubbermaid tote boxes, army trunk, 2 smaller trunks, 1/2 of a dresser drawer, 2 small-ish drawers, and bottom shelves of my bookcase.
(Which is where all that yarn has fit into once it was sorted and put away again.)

Yeah don't get to mom's level
It's insane

I don't plan to. My goal for this year is to stash bust some.
And no buying yarn unless it's for a custom order and absolutely is a yarn that I don't have.

Actually, I tried the no buying yarn tbing last year and mostly did okay at it. Except for some clearance yarns...and a few others that I used my rewards coupons at Joann on...
But I think I only maybe brought in 20-30ish new yarns! And a few of those really were for a custom order!

i have some yarn that's in twisted hanks that i need to ball up and then make into socks. :)

Do it! Go make pretty socks!

...i'm working on it :P

Yay!
Kinda wish I was at home right now because I have a lot of projects I want to be working on at the moment.
Hopefully the motivation doesn't disappear between now and when I get home.
XD

hopefully!!

i have a pic of the yarn that i'll post once i get it started.

but first, it's dinner time 'round here.
