08.21.2004 :: short kersti

My fingers are itching to go ahead and work full steam ahead on Inishmore, now that the mental work is done on that decision. But instead of being impulsive, which I usually am, I decided that I would first finish the kersti scarf. And I did. Then I decided that it would look great with a crocheted edge. Which it does. I finished the first side last night during the olympics. Swimming. My favorite olympic event so far has been synchronized diving. Who knew there was such a thing? But I digress.
Back to the kersti scarf and it's problem. You knew there had to be one, didnt' you?

Is all I have left. I don't think it will be enough.
sure. Just order another skein, you say? Yes, that would make sense. Except I did not save the label. Hmm? what's that? Kinda stupid and childish? Sure. I am that way. I throw things away willy nilly and then keep other things for years and years. Makes no sense.
Should I just use another color and call it a design feature?
Should I take out the one crocheted edge and make the edges match?
Should I eat a great big donut?
Should I rant and rave?
Shoulda/woulda. Story of my life sometimes.
It will come to me. It had better!

First I would go for the donut. Then I would take the piece I have left to my LYS and try matching it.

Eat the donut or maybe two the sugar rush will get the creative juices flowing and the solution will come to you. By the way, where did you purchase your Kersti? If it was mail order maybe they have a record of exactly what you bought.

I agree.....go for the donut. I throw things away willy nilly too. Glad I read the link about the RAOK. What a great idea.

I'd definitely go for the donut. (you cracked me up on that one). Seems you and I are "at it" again -- did you see my entry today? Just a little piddle of yarn left on my hat project, too. (cue Twilight Zone music) But I'm finished, so it's all good.
