Entrelac Scarf

I have had a new obesession on my brain the last couple of days, something besides finances if you can believe it! It is something that my favorite blog writer, Crazy Aunt Purl is working on and man I want to make it so bad! It is called the Entrelac Scarf and it is beautiful. The pattern calls for Noro Silk Garden yarn which is something I have never worked with before so I am excited to try it. She also said the pattern can be a little tricky so I am hoping it keeps me interested. The colors she has are really pretty too, but I think I want more earthy tones in mine. The thing is is that Noro yarn is kind of pricey, so I consulted my knitting guru (aka my friend Christina) and asked her if she thought I should take a stab at it and buy some.

Of course she had to be all logical and told me to look at all the other projects that I started and was excited about but never finished or picked up again. Then she asked me if I still wanted to do the scarf. She is right of course....I do have alot of projects that I have gotten bored with and have left forgotten....but in my defense I have never used very expensive yarn on these projects! I think that would motivate me to finish....plus I told her that I am going to go through them all this weekend and rip back all the ones I know I won't pick up again to lessen my WIPs. She laughed at me....personally I thought it was a good argument =P
