Three's A Charm

You might recognize this yarn. It was supposed to be a grocery tote.

I decided to pull the original 'flower' and redo it. I figured what I had to loose except time - either way I was on track to loose that any way - my gut told me that this was not turning out how it was supposed to. Well lo and behold ... it turned out the same way! This time I made sure I counted - actually made little tick marks on a piece of paper to keep track. The pattern called for 'treble crochet V sts ' and when I googled it, the best I could get that it was the English equivalent of the double crochet sts. hmph. The way it was working up looked more like quadrupole zillion trillion (as Henry would say) ... a carnation was in the making again.

I pulled it and made a scarf for no one in particular. I need to have something come out of this yarn - not because it's pricey (it wasn't) or some high grade (it isn't) but because I needed to make something. So a scarf it became (because that's about all I can crochet!). I'm going to file it away for Christmas '09.
