Tube Scarves Eat Yarn

I am so excited to give my music notes scarf to my teacher with the, "105 Reasons Ms. Bowers CANNOT Leave Next Year," list, but I did not know what I was getting myself into when I decided to make it in the round.

Tube scarves eat yarn!! I am already on my second skein of Fisherman and it's barely two feet long. And I don't know if I'll be able to endure two more feet of straight knitting. To remedy this boredom, I started winding the yarn for the baby hats and mittens into a ball yesterday, but it got a huge knot in it. Why do the knitting gods hate me so? Is this for never making a gauge swatch? Becuase I promise that I'm going to knit one for this project!! So please have mercy, O powerful knitting gods.

In other news, I am working on my first amigurumi crochet project as well!! She will be an orange elephant for my friend Nichole. So far, she is half a head and a trunk, but she's coming along nicely, and actually works up quite fast. Any suggestions for names would be much appreciated.
