new scarf!

So Darin has been a good boy so I am knitting him a new scarf! It's the most intricate, ridiculous thing I have ever knit in my entire life. When you look at the pattern in the book there are little boxes (the boxes are two different colors so you know what color to knit with) that tell you what you are supposed to knit... and each box equals two stitches in this pattern, and each box color means a different thing depending on which row you are on.... oh boy! The directions in the book were not very helpful with getting me started and figuring out how the heck I was supposed to knit this... soooo I went on youtube and I looked up double knitting and watched some lady's video about how to knit like this. Thank god for youtube! Otherwise I'd still be swearing at the book and knitting.... I don't think Darin could stand anymore of that! ha ha ha ha!

Here is the first side of the scarf


and here is the second side of the scarf, completely opposite!

It was really hard to start knitting this, but now that I mostly know what I'm doing I really enjoy it! 

loves!
