SC 5, MB, SC 5, rippppppp....

oi. edgings are ever so important. They Reallllly can make or break something. I could have been finished with the lovely diagonal scarf were it not for the tricky questions a knitter (in the case crocheter) must ask oneself: Begin on right (ooh, look at the pretty chain!) or wrong side (it does seem to lay flat better)? Large bobbles with double crochet or smaller bobble with single crochet? Have it hug the knitting or chain one before and after?

These are the little quirks that distinguish a pattern! Also, is it lovely to work as well as behold? And now that I've decided, how the junk do I write this in English without taking up half of a page?

Nice little break, now back to the eleventeen different edgings on this scarf......
