I finished The Scarf That Time Forgot. Finished it for really. Bought some new yarn needles and wove in the ends. After the weather was so nice on Monday, I was worried that I might not get the chance to wear it, which just shows how completely divorced from reality I can be sometimes. I was honestly worried that it would be so warm out from now until, say, October, that I wouldn’t get a chance to wear it until then. Yeah, right. That would really happen around here. I also don’t know why I was “worried” about this, as The Scarf That Time Forgot looks so obviously like the first thing I ever knit (or like the first thing a four-year-old ever knit, or like the first thing a blind monkey ever knit) that I was not sure I was brave enough to wear it in public, anyway.

As is fitting for March, lately the weather here has been… well, you could call it “changeable,” or you could call it “fickle,” or you could call it “increasingly bizarre.” It rained all day yesterday. This morning I woke up and it was bright and sunny. About ten minutes later, it started to hail. After a few minutes, the hail turned to snow. The snow didn’t last long either, and it didn’t stick. It became bright and sunny again, and it stayed that way for the rest of the day. It was cold enough that wearing a scarf was a good idea, though. So I wore The Scarf That Time Forgot. In public. And I didn’t even die of embarrassment.

I may have neglected to mention that I am the World’s Worst Photographer. I have never met anyone who is worse at taking pictures than I am. My photos have improved since I got a digital camera, since after I take a picture I can now preview it, see that it looks like crap, and take the same shot over and over again until I finally come up with one that doesn’t look so much like crap. Also, any photographs that I have either uploaded from the digital camera, or scanned, I am able to Photoshop the hell out of. But often my photos look like crap anyway, even with the digital camera. Especially since it’s not the easiest thing in the world to take a picture of your own torso.

Now on to Scarf #2.
