Project Number One- The Purple Scarf

I began this scarf on a whim one Friday night.  After an impromptu (and very expensive) trip to Michael's and a quick review of a few U-Tube tutorials I was on my way.  Or so I thought...

 Not only did I have to restart this scarf a few times, it is still a major wreck.  There are several holes where I dropped stitches.  There are also snags where I didn't understand how exactly to change colors.

In fact- I am not sure I even like this color combination.  However- this scarf stands out for one simple reason.  I started it on my own.  I figured out the pattern and I worked it through to the end.  Then I cast it off.  For the first time.  Ever.  Period.

So without further ado....
