Helen and I had a discussion about being faithful. We are both happily married women, but we struggle with monogamy. Not with our 'life partners' but with our yarn projects.
This week I announced that I was choosing a monogamous relationship with one project. That meant even having to look away from the new yarn that arrived this week. I had come to the point in this project where the relationship was 'do or die', finish or it will get trapped into in the UFO basket.
I began this lace weight project with good intentions, This was going to be another of my favourite summer scarf patterns using the new Noro Taiyo Lace.
It began last summer, I took it with me on holidays.

It grew a little after Christmas. then finally this week I stayed true to only this knitting. Fortunately being Noro the colours were keeping me engaged.
Finally after 4 hours of knitting on Sunday the last few stitches were cast off and I was free! I removed the cardboard center of the ball and there are still 30 grams, that's almost 200 meters remaining!
I blocked it last night, today it's drying. It measures just over 100 inches long!
Done on 3.5 mm needles and used 700 meters of yarn. That's a lot of knitting for $25 worth of yarn!
Today its on to another project, but again I am going to stick with that one until its finished. There are too many UFO's in my knitting basket.
See you Soon!
