The Not-So-Happy Hooker

I finally finished the star scarf!! It's great. I don't like the way the bind off end flares out while the cast on end is square, but it isn't very noticeable. I think Cody ate my tapestry needles, so weaving in the ends will have to wait. I am really really proud of it, though, and I can't wait to give it to its new owner.

Before I worked on that for the night, my mom attempted to teach me how to crochet. I'm pretty sucky at it, but I might get it with practice. I still think knitting is way cooler (no offense), but I would like to be able to do both. In return, I tried teaching mom to knit. She has arthritis pretty bad, but she did a really good job for her first time. She did a row of knit and a row of purl with minimal trouble. She had a little trouble realizing it was harder to backtrack than in crochet, and that it was also harder to fix mistakes, but I think that if she practices she'll get it in no time.

I'm casting on Becky's calorimetry (I have the pattern memorized by now) so that I can work on it tomorrow in between stuffing my face. With any luck, I'll have it finished before Becks gets back from Texas.

Oh oh oh! While I was tearing the house apart looking for a tapestry needle, my mom took a crochet hook to the brown calorimetry. It's good as new! I can tell the dog got a hold of it at all! Crisis officially averted.
