Tedium.. Thy Name is Fringe.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

It's done.... It is SO done.. I don't care if other people think it isn't done because it IS. It. Is. Done.

And I couldn't be happier.. I'll be even MORE happy when it is OUT of my house and in Aunt Faye's house.. because then it won't be getting fur on my couch and clothes anymore! HA!!

I win!!

But before I show you the finished product.. I must show you the massive frogging you missed.


This was just before the frogging.. if you can see it, yes that tape measure says 28 inches... and that was just for HALF of it... that thing would fit a line backer!!! Let us keep in mind that this is NOT a fullsized poncho.. this is a "capelet" whatever the heck that is.



Cry me a river.. Ugh it was so hard... I hate this yarn.. I really do. Ugh ugh ugh..



I feel ready to have a party.. I'm so excited that it's done!!! I even wove in the ends and everything! It's TOTALLY DONE!!!!


I just finished the fringe about thirty minutes ago.. I didn't know fringe was so awful and tedius.. but I guess that's what happens when you have 65 pieces of double yarn fringe to do.. Never again. Thankfully I used the cardboard fringe trick.. (You know, that one where you cut a piece of cardboard as wide as half the length you want the fringe to be, then you wrap the yarn around it like a fiend a bunch of times (65..but whose counting?) and then cut one edge of it and you get fringe!)

Now I just have to pack it up in it's special matching gift bag (Yeah.. I'm special like that.) and take it to Aunt Faye on Thanksgiving. I desperately hope that she likes it... and I even hope that she likes the (heh) gift of the two left over yarn balls that I'll be giving her with it. (Muah ah ah ah.)

Yessir.. I do sure love my Aunt Faye.

Now.. I can go to bed without worrying about this thing ANY more!! YAY!!!

(Who wants to party with me?)

Get the drink table, it is done!
Cheers to a job well done!

And good plan to get rid of the left-over yarn, that way you can't get tempted in 2 years time to do something with it.

It's cute, she'll love it. I'm glad it's finished, though, what a nightmare!

I'm done with my wubie, but I won't be able to post it until I look like a human again =) (as opposed to a saskwatch)
