Well I knitted. I brought with me a beautiful and easy scarf pattern to knit. Fayfay

I was using a ball of handspun that had been sitting around for a while. It was pretty and well I had told myself to start using my handspun (still need to do that) I wasn't sure of how much I had but I figured I had enough for this lacey scarf.
Oh it was enough. I knitted most of it in the waiting room and finished at home nursing a very sore Hubby.

It needs to be reblocked. It is almost 10 feet long! I just kept knitting not even thinking that once it is blocked it will grow. It is lace after all. I just had too much on my mind at the time. I have bought blocking wires since I last blocked it and hoping that a re block will help. If I try to get more width then it should shrink the length (hoepfully) enough that the scarf is a little more wearable. If that doesn't work I may just have to rip out some of the length.

Honey, i don't remember if you showed me this before, but it's beautiful. if you think it's really tooooo long, you could alway double it when wearing since it is so lacy. love you, Mom
Mom has a good idea, Q, but how about making a new scarf or something else from what you "tear out"? Can you tear it out without ruining it? I agree it's a beauteous thing.
