I still haven't finished my Boyfriend Basketweave Scarf and can't bring myself to just do it. I've invested a lot in the materials-- and a lot of time and it's just not as great as it should/could/would be. The scarf is too bulky, I guess because the yarn is so bulky, and posted stitches almost make it a double-thickness. I just don't see myself wrapping this puppy around my neck.
But the yarn is so fabulous... This is the alpaca that you just want to stick your face in. I can't waste it! So now I'm thinking about unraveling the scarf and making something else more fitting and worthy. Maybe this would be a good knitting project. It's chunky and should knit up fast. And even if I crochet it again, anything but a posted stitch would have to be better.
I guess I need to determine first if this scarf will allow me to unravel it-- sometimes really fiber-y yarns like to cling together and you practically have to razor it apart. There's no way I'm going there. We'll see...
