In which we remember the Irish Hiking scarf...


We are gathered here today to remember a brave little scarf. Its life started out well enough, it was loved, had stitches added and cables crossed regularly. However this poor scarf was doomed from the start. The knitter got better as she knitted this scarf and began noticing how bad her beginning stitches were compared to the most recent stitches. Then the worst possible thing happened. The knitter ran out of yarn. So this poor scarf was tucked away with the best intentions of buying one more skein soon. This scarf languished in the stash until this morning when the knitter decided to put this ill-fated scarf to rest and resurrect the yarn in a hat and thin scarf combo.

Services were held in the living room with the ball winder to make sure the yarn wouldn't tangle. It was the least that this knitter could do for such a brave scarf. It is survived by its brothers and sisters of the ufo pile. Rest in pieces dear scarf!
