I finished knitting a scarf this weekend for my mother-in-law's birthday. It's more of a fancy scarf to wear when she goes out to the country club (she lives in a golfing community here) for dinner and her various get-togethers. I made it with "Fun Fur." Let me tell you. I am not a fan. It's a pretty enough scarf - rather boa-like, but you can't SEE anything when you stitching! Can you find a mistake? NOOOOOO. Can you go back and correct something you've done wrong? NOOOOOO. So, I didn't do the slighly more complex and more interesting stitch pattern for this; I just did a simple garter stitch, because I couldn't fix anything if I'd wanted to! Oh, well. It's done. I have another one to do for a friend who's style includes actual boas, so it will be perfect for her, but I think I'll work on something else first to give myself a furbreak.
I have more to post, but it will have to wait. Duty (a.k.a. school) calls!

Fun fur drives me NUTSO too, for the same reasons. Though, I have done a strand of yarn and a strand of fun fur and that worked out beautifully. :) But I once tried only fun fur and after just a few rows, thought I'd tear my own hair out so I quit. Congrats for sticking in there! Beautiful pics!
