DONE!!!!

the saga began on a cold february day, day one of the knitting olympics.  i was ready, i was excited.  I WAS DETERMINED!!!

i should have known better.  allegations of drug use sullied my reputation.  i prayed for miracles.  and then i just gave up.  i wasn't going to finish.

it was a disappointing day.

a couple of months later though, i was given the ok by the host, to join the knitting world cup.  the GOOOAAAAALLLLLL was to finish the scarf by the end of the final.

the fans were great.  so supportive.  but even the roar of the crowd didn't help.

nor did the power of prayer.

by the end of the tour de france, i still wasn't finished.

but i am now...

Words can simply not express the joy and merriment derived from that shot of this scarf around Joe's waist. Tres sexy.

Excellent! Well done!

That last comment is from me. patrick had his info saved in Typepad, and I didn't pay attention.

No Bode no more. You get gold. It's a great scarf.

Woo-hoo! I especially like it as a mini-kilt. :D

Woohoo! It may have been an uphill battle, but it was worth it for the outcome!

WOW, love the skirt pose. I keep turning to this scrak when I open the Scarf Style book, and have been longing to make it... night mare huh? I will take my cue from your olympian efforts, and still think about making it in future...

Niiiice

Congratulations Maryse! Done at last....too bad it was such a pain to do because it's really nice. J is a good sport- "You want me to do what?!" Love the over-the-shoulder-look :-)

The thrill of victory! Congrats. And J looks hot in it as a skirt!

Horror story or not, it's beautiful! Great colors!

Yippee!! It really is beautiful.

Great post! And, great scarf.

Very cool scarf! I'm sure it's been worth the wait...

And please, more pictures! Let us see every excrutiating inch of that beauty. And we can put away the Karen Alexander voodoo dolls now.

MAZEL TOV!!!!! It looks fab on J. -- you need to crochet him a matching purse :-)

Oh Maryse!...that scarf is beautiful! It was worth waiting for...glad you fininshed it. :)

Wow! That looks amazing! I hope you'll take more pictures of it all laid out so we can see the entire thing!

Whoo hoo! Congratulations!

Woohoo! (Imagine huge marching bands, batons twirling, etc., etc.) Well done!

Good Gad! Well done. Was it a complete bee-atch?

It might be a horror story but it's still fucking brilliant.

Holy S&%$! Nice hands on your model there! WOW! That is a manpaw for sure! I hope that is your spouse modeling because they scream MAN to me in the best possible way! Someone I like should have those paws to come home to....

Sorry, I am being MUCH too agressive. Manpaws have that effect on me. MANPAWS!

So glad you finished the nightmare of i-cord.

Congratulations!!

Amazing. I hope you're going to celebrate with wild abandon now that it's done! And start something new, that you like more!

That J is a really good sport, I have to say. ;-)

Hooray! Glad you persevered, enjoy your gold medal.

Congratulations! It looks great. (I didn't want to use awesome again.)

Thanks for the inspiration, I'm still trying to finish my World Cup/Tour de France/Trekking socks.

Fantastic! You deserve a spinning wheel!

Um, your model is nice and all, but I want to see this on YOU! :)

Congrats on finishing it!

Look at you, finishing horrific projects. Such determination! Such focus! (And it looks awesome!)

A knit kilt! Brilliant!

Well, I know you went through a lot in making but.... it looks really friggin awesome!! :)
