My scarf!

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been really busy. And by really busy I mean watching The IT Crowd on netflix. 

So as I said last week, I had set a few goals for myself. Well, what do you know I stuck to them! And here is the scarf I made! Woohoo! Thank goodness to YouTube tutorials! 

So because I wanted to make a different version of an infinity scarf I made my own pattern! Well not really a pattern because it was in my head! So if any of you are interested here is how I made it!

Firstly, I cast on, then I knit one row, pearled the next and so on. I had 35 stitches in each row and I just cast off at my desired length and sewed three large buttons on using the thick cross stitching craft thread to connect the ends together!

And voila! How to make a kind of unique scarf! 

Stop feeling lame and be awesome

Every once in a while I find myself in a rut. It's hard to stay positive when things are on a bad streak for you.

Not huge goals like find a cure for cancer, become the prime minister, or create world peace. Very much the opposite. I decided to set small, achievable goals for myself. When you set a small goal for yourself it's in the foreseeable future and when you reach it you feel accomplished and therefore positive!

So that being said here are a few goals I have set for myself:
