So, day by day & bit by bit I have been working on this cowl neck scarf. I told Josh last night at the rate I am going when I finish it will be springtime and I won't need it.
About two nights ago, I started wondering what I could make instead of this cowl with this piece I have already completed. I do that with my cooking sometimes; I begin to make one dish and realize that I don't have the proper ingredients and change it into something else. Since I have been cooking since the tender age of 8, I can usually do that with success. So, I look at this piece and wonder what in the world else I could make it into.
Some thoughts I have had:
*a little poncho for our American Girl doll - Kit... but I don't want my first project to be for the doll.
*a hot pad... but I don't want to use such a great yarn for a hot pad.
*hmm... an iPod case? Stitch the sides together?
Well for now I will keep on crocheting and hope that eventually these tight little stitches and knots turn into something useful.
(why didn't I make a potholder???)
stick with the scarf - you will be so happy to pull it out in the fall!
