How long does it take to make a scarf?

Hmm...that depends on who you are. If you are me, then one year, almost to the date.

Pretty sad, huh.

I consider myself a pretty crafty person. However, I will be the first one to admit that I like to dabble in lots of things, but don't consider myself "good" at anything. Sounds like I may need to take a class or two. Or, just consult my very crafty sister in law Carrie. I know she will probably chastise me for saying this, but I often wonder if there is anything she can't do? I am not saying I am jealous--well maybe a teeny bit, but I am not sure that she knows how much I admire her. She follows her Coast Guard husband around the country, raises three kids, goes to nursing school full time, works part time and then goes back to school again. She cooks, cleans, and crafts, all while maintaining a pleasant personality. And I never hear her complain.
So, I am posting this in honor of her. Because, she is the one that taught me, for over a year, how to knit. Are you proud? My first completed scarf!
