Scarf Progress



Haven't got much done lately because of school, but I have made some progress.

A scarf dialogue courtesy of my mother:
Mom: So, this scarf you're making...it's going to be pretty long, yeah?
Me: Yup. It'll be about from here *indicates start of couch* to the wall.
Mom: The scarfy Doctor...
Me: Tom Baker.
Mom: Tom Baker. He was a pretty tall guy.
Me: Yeah, and it still made a big loop on him.
Mom: So...are you going to be able to wear this?
Me: Yeah! I'll just...loop it around more.

Hee. Well, we'll see when I'm done. Speaking of: Does anyone know of a good tutorial/video/book on how to crochet edges on? The scarf has a border which I'll have to crochet on when I'm finished, but I haven't done any crocheting before. I don't imagine it should be too difficult though, right?

I think that counter is ADORABLE. [/random]

Ah, the discussions one has with the uninitiated . . . my the ones I have with my own mummy are quite amusing, up until she said of Three, 'He's a bit long in the tooth, isn't he?'
Me: TAKE THAT BACK THREE IS AWESOME.
Her: 'He's a bit old . . . '

Of Four, the first thing she said was 'He's got horse teeth!' & on the subject of his scarf, she ALWAYS, ALWAYS says, 'I hope he doesn't trip over it or strangle himself! IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!'

So if I knit one, which I might, she'll probably say the same things.

MOTHERS. :P

& alas, I cannot help with the knitting . . . as I don't know how to knit. But good luck on finding what you're looking for!

Ah, yes. I can get irrationally defensive of the Doctors that I like the best. "Damn it, celery is a perfectly acceptable fashion choice!" *grumblegrumble*

Hee, another one:

Mom: the one that looks like an ice-cream man.
Me: ...huh?
Mom: All beige and...
Me: It's an Edwardian cricketing outfit! For cricket!
Mom: ...I still think he looks like an ice-cream man.
Me: ...
