That's a yooge scarf there, folks.
I made this my purse knitting after I finished my GWTF socks. A row here, a row there, a whole mess of rows while I was trying to tune out the guy at the tire place telling me in graphic detail about his rectal cancer... I pulled the scarf out last night to see how much longer it would have to be; it was already at 72", and I still had to do the snappy little point. Surprise!
This has long been the ignored middle child of my WIPs, so I'm glad that I can stop feeling bad about neglecting it. It's done just in time for the lovely humid days of August.
That look on my face says, "I am wearing a scarf, and it is 95 degrees out. Perhaps this knitting thing has gone too far."

Hey, I remember that yarn! :) It looks wonderful! and everyone needs at least one scarf that is taller than them!
Too far?? NAH! It's only going to far when one works on a wool afhgan in this heat and humidity. *checks her multiple WIP ---- uh oh* *giggle*
72 inches!! wow! You could wrap that around like 5 times! Great for those cool days we've been having....
