I-cords are easy-peasy to knit, but there are so many of them and you change colors as you go up the cord! Who would have imagined! I still have about a dozen to do and then I can sew up the first fair isle section. Technically, I should have sewed up the fair isle section prior to starting the garter band with I-cord edging.
I ordered another skein of each color that called for one skein. Now I feel very comfortable about my amounts. This makes it easier to do the I-cords since I was hesitating to take a strand from a color without knowing how much I'd need of that color later on. I've already run out of one color and it is used later.
Maybe I need to have one of those techno-gadgets with me so I can google the scarf pattern out of a book to see if the comments are favorable BEFORE I buy the book. LOL
I finally did some cross stitch this month! The Bent Creek sheep "Life is Good". I just have to finish the sheep and it's ready for framing.

I love the Bent Creek sheep. I did Life is Good last year. I have also stitched Winter Sheep, Boo Betty Sheep, Smitten Ewe, Summer Ewe, Free Sheep, and Autumn Ewe. I still have two more kits, The Black Sheep and Lucky Ewe. I never could find the Spring Sheep kit or Hunt Ewe.
