Why I Haven't Posted Anything for Two Days

I have finally completed the Famous Red Scarf. I stayed up really late last night to do "one last cable" and to bind off (something I haven't done for -- well -- awhile.) I know we're about two weeks from summer here in Minnesota, but I had to try it on. What do you think?


The braided cable was the "learning curve" skill. I am not an accomplished knitter; I know some basic stitches, but have never made anything really complicated. I learned to do a basic cable in high school, but the braided cable was new to me and a challenge.
I will admit the cables make it look impressive.

Do you think I'll ever be able to learn to knit socks?

    The scarf is absolutely gorgeos (and I agree, so are you) ... and, of course you will be able to knit socks!

    Diane, I don't know about whether you'll ever knit socks, but the scarf is gorgeous. The color is lovely, and it looks wonderful on you.

    Something that takes so much time deserves a place of honor. Glad you did the cables--they're not as intimidating as they look from the other side!
