the secret

While the Branch scarf really isn't that complex, I can't tell you how many times I have looked up at the TV and lost where I was in the pattern!  If you've ever frogged mohair, um.  Right.  It's not something one wants to do repeatedly.  Talk about sticky.  I finally had to write out the pattern on graph paper and highlight every 5-block...the other secret to successfully get through the pattern for me is, I must commit to completing 5 rows at a time (well, really 10, but I wasn't including the no-think return rows).  See what can be done when concentrating?

I kind of like the way the end of the scarf isn't straight...I haven't decided whether to block that out or not.

That scarf is very pretty. It makes me want to go buy a bunch of Cracksilk, what is it about yarn that I just *want* it?

I can't even tell you how many times I have tried to knit that scarf in how many different yarns and with how many different needles.

I will do it one day. Maybe!
