Irish Hiking Saga

Now that it's been sitting around languishing for a week or two, I finally got around to taking pictures of my completed Hiking Scarf!

This scarf has also had the most exciting life of anything I have made to date. During its creation, it's seen:

• A lay-off
• A contract extension
• Three tornado warnings (that didn't amount to anything at all)
• One trip to the emergency room
• A hospital Stay
• One ninth birthday party

(Surprisingly enough, and perhaps disappointingly, all of the aforementioned events were unrelated.)

I thought it was kind of silly, though, to be making a scarf so close to spring. Thought it was kind of a waste that it probably wouldn't get used for another six months or so... but I forgot something vital! I live in Kansas! Springtime in Kansas means a psychotic roller coaster ride of rocketing to 80 degrees, plummeting to 20 degrees, digging yourself out of a late-season snow only to get blown away by a tornado that weeked. (Ok, it's not THAT bad, but still...) Point being: it snowed a couple of weeks ago, and I got to wear my scarf!

Thanks for looking. :)
