The Scarf Problem

Hiya from a.,

So this week has been more about starting or working on a million things, with little being finished yet.  Seriously, why I thought it would be a good idea to do an adult size log cabin blanket, I don't know.  I'm 3/4 of the way through band 7 and am hoping to do 8 or maybe 9 bands if my yarn holds out.  I made the problem worse by counting how many stitches the first band was versus the band I'm working on now (eg band 1 each strip was 300 stitches, in band 7 there are around 1400).  Still it is looking neat and I hope to have it done in a couple of weeks.  I've been spinning some, and working on projects for other people.  I also frogged a shawl I had made.  It came out well, but I have since decided that I look like a prat in a shawl.  The yarn was gorgeous though so I undid all my work and am turning it into a wrap, because those I can handle.
At this point I am sure you are wondering why I've called this post the scarf problem.  No I don't have another scarf to show you.  The FLBs like to gently tease me about how many scarves I make.  This is fine, I do really like to make scarves.  Even complex ones are done relatively quickly, they are pretty, and very practical where I live.  Plus with me having gotten into handspun yarn, I regularly have somewhere between 2 - 4oz, which depending equals 80-250 yards.  This isn't a huge amount of yarn, it means hat, scarf, mittens/gloves.  I like to show off the handspun, and a scarf allows that to happen best.  So no big deal.  But I ask you dear readers if maybe I do have a scarf problem.

This isn't even all of them, 2 had to be left off, but otherwise this is me wearing all the scarves that I've made for myself.  Here now is a picture of them laid out side by side on the ground (including the two that I couldn't fit on).

left to right we have: pretty pink cowl, cotton purple spring wrap, the infinity scarf, my first scarf made, squishy squishy scarf, pink mesh, neutral spiral, noro bricks, first of my handspun that I worked up, noro lace, bamboo aqua wrap, dark purple queen anne lace, big brett marble mesh wrap, and the black and red flowers. 14 in total for myself.  That isn't so bad when you live in a climate where when it warms up to 26F it feels balmy.
Now you do need to remember that these are just my scarves.  This doesn't include r., the moms, the dads, grandparents, friends.  But I wouldn't classify this as a problem.
Do you know what is a problem that affects us all?  Cats who won't let you put luggage away because they are too damn cute.

take care.
