I swear, this was a breeze once I got into a rhythm. I know I said it earlier, but I am not a knitter or know how to crochet or anything like that. After I finished one and saw that it didn’t look like a huge knot, and actually like a scarf I was psyched! I wore it to work and my coworker was like “Wow that scarf is beautiful!
