The Dress Rehersal

Been a bit slack about the updates lately but a lot has gone on over the past few weeks.Yes i am only a little over 60% of the way through but that didnt stop the scarf getting its first outing!On the 31st of March I was lucky enough to attend the exclusive preview of the Eleventh Hour for the residents of Llandaff. As soon as the tickets arrived in my inbox i felt really low as it would have been a perfect outing for the scarf...but it was only half done.
The weekend before I was sat at my parents house watching my grandmother knit a cardigan and i noticed a huge safety pin clipped to the end of one section. So I asked what she was using it for and she told me it was a "stich saver". It was holding a row of stiches in place whilst she worked on another section. That was when i decided. I would pin the unfinished end with a stich saver and sew in off the unfinished ends so that to the untrained eye it would look as if i had a finished scarf.

This was the length of it at that timeAt lunch on the Monday the first thing i did was pick up 2 stich savers and a darning needle and started to sew in the row ends. It didnt take as long as i expected and by Wednesday Morning i had a wearable scarf!

So after work on the 31st I headed off to Llandaff and was not disappointed, i got to watch the episode wrapped in my beloved scarf afterall!

And finally probably THE most embarrassing picture of me EVER. But its the only one with the finished "half-scarf"
