Not touching this yarn again.

I have been dithering around with this yarn for far too long. I started making it into an infinity scarf for my daughter last year, but I didn't like the way the colors flowed. I also realized that she probably wouldn't love these colors any way. 

I kept going with the Richmond Lace Infinity Scarf figuring maybe I would use it and then I realized that there wasn't enough yarn to make it as long as the pattern states. Ugh.

I frogged the scarf a little ways and tried the yarn in a couple of other patterns. You guessed it, I still wasn't happy and some of the patterns were a little too difficult for this novice knitter as well.

I was feeling like the unfinished infinity scarf was now taunting me, so what did I do? 

I finished it!!

I have several fall and winter tops that this scarf will go well with. It is not as long as it could be, but it will still work. I won't be able to double wrap it. 

I am still not in love with this yarn. When I bought it, I was told it would stripe nicely. Not really. There isn't any more of it left and I am quite happy about that.

I finished reading Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah in no time. This was definitely one of those books you do not want to put down. There is always something new and intriguing in each chapter. This book was both heart-breaking and up-lifting. The characters are wonderful. 

Just before I finished this book, I was notified that Insurgent by Veronica Roth was available to borrow on my Kindle. Perfect timing. I have been anxiously anticipating reading this second book in the Divergent trilogy. So far it is just as well written as the first book. I started it yesterday and am already up to chapter 13. I want to find out what happens to Tris, Tobias, Caleb and the others. I now need to put the third book in the trilogy on hold. 

I am also still stitching the final border of the Peanut's Christmas quilt. Once I mark in between the already quilted corners the actual quilting goes quite quickly. This stencil doesn't have as many twists and turns and the string of lights did. I can quilt along fairly quickly without starting and stopping. I will definitely finish this in time for the holidays.
