Ughh. Of course I mess things up with my secret knitting. I’m gonna be lazy and just paste the same update here that I had posted in Ravelry about this project so far:
11/29/08:
I feel dumb. My gauge was correct, but somehow my scarf is only 45” long instead of 60” so it looks like a child size scarf!
I’m gonna have to frog this all back and figure out whats going on with my gauge and start over AGAIN (making it 4th re-start) and use different needles.
I haven’t had the heart to rip it apart yet. It’s been sitting on my desk awaiting its frogging fate for about a week now.
:’(
I still haven’t frogged it yet. This one is gonna hurt.
In more pleasant news, one of my friends who now wants me to knit him a beanie gave me his favorite beanie in the world and wants me to recreate since its full of paint and holes. Haha, it’s going to be a bit of a challenge…
Have you ever seen a weirder orange for a project or what?? Haha, its kind of worse than Cal Trans workers. The white and the black will be cake to find, obviously, so the stripes are peachy. But I have no idea where I’m gonna find an orange this insane! Haha, and the outside of the beanie is less bright than the inside because it faded! (check out the 2nd picture)
Yeah, so if you’ve seen an orange this intense, haha, please point me in the right direction! I kept thinking I found good oranges last night because they looked REALLY bright in this one store, but then when I pulled up the same color on another website, they were all muted pumpkiny colors.
Bachelors and their clothes. *insert eye roll here*
Haha wish me luck!
HI MICKEY!!!!!!!!!
Wow, you’ve got a lot of fun stuff going on. Sorry about the frogging thing, thats no fun
BUT the Obnoxious orange hat of doom should be loads of fun! Really though… it could be a boring color like black. or brown. or grey. with no variation but you get to work with a color you would have never worked with unless your strange friend prompted 
miss you!
