And it was! I finished the scarf in about a week which was super gratifying, but not without first having to remember how to purl (I did have to watch the video to make sure I wasn't going to make a mess of my box stitch when I was so close to being finished) and having to learn how to make tassels (or fringe).
Remembering how to purl was simple enough and once I watched the knit witch do a couple of purl stitches my fingers remembered how, and I was off. The tassels were a little but different as far as learning. I had an idea in my head of how adding tassels to a piece would work, and I was pleased to see that I wasn't far off when I watched a tutorial. Knowledge firmly in place, I was sure that I could make the tassels and have my mother's scarf finished in no time. However, what I didn't count on was how annoying long it would take to measure and cut the yarn for each tassel, cut the pieces again to make the tassels actually look like tassels, and then attach them to the scarf evenly. I think it was at least an hour later, but I finally had the tassels finished
and a finished scarf which I will be able to give to my mother, and it will mostly match her hat!
Happy knitting!
