It all started innocently enough, with a 10+7 formula for a tunisian crochet scarf.
The fan stitch was charming. The hand dye was popping. The white yarn was soft. The melody seemed in tune.
The tunisian crocheter said, "Husband, come and take pictures of my process."
"It is important I impart this vital knowledge to my legion of followers."
Fans, shells, pattern of 5, it was all a formula for success.
A simple design, a pop of a little extra with the color change should have made this project a success.
This is where I tell you color choices make or break this project. In theory, it looked like it was going to work....
But two feet in I knew it wasn't going to work. The scarf looks like it is going to chew my arm off it is so coyote ugly. Don't do what I did. Follow directions. Choose better. Go forth, be (less) bold. I've frogged the monster face and it is in timeout with my fishy sweater.

That is funny Sara. Scarf eats creator... Sorry yer having such a frustrating time with that one. I feel like that too sometimes. Just not with knitted products.
LOL!
I laughed pretty hard at your coyote ugly comment. It is...interesting, that's for sure!
I actually like the colors (am I in the minority here?). I am about a week behind on my blog reading, so I'm just seeing this now. I hope the next version works out better :). I'll share the link on my blog and FB.
