I started a new job today and my boss noticed the needles sticking out of my bag. We discussed it briefly and she hinted at a scarf. I didn't ask any details about what she was looking for, but I knew what it was. One of those fuzzy fluffy girly furry things. You know how it is - your non-knitting friends look right past the intricate cables on your sweater, never notice the painstaking lace on your hat, and shrugged non-committally at the gloves you made on size 0's. They want a fuzzy scarf. I admit it, I've made them, worn them, even liked them. But they're like the boys I dated for a week in college - it seemed like a good idea at the time but if I ran into them in public ever again I'd never admit we met.
I haven't even counted them. I know there's been dozens (scarves, not boys). No pictures, no records. I'm torn though. It'd be nice to get my ravelry project count up there but I can't do it. Here's my compromise - 3 of the scarves I've kept.
Quality over quantity (for boys and scarves).

You're one funny girl. It's so true, so true. Now to be fair - when that new, shiny, furry, sparkley yarns first appeared in stores you were instantly drawn and knew that *something* had to be made from them... and it's not as though a sweater or hat or mittens or socks(!) would be appropriate for such frilly yarn. Only scarves would do.
Yeah - you keep on addin' those ravelry projects. Amateur.
