Acrylic eyelash novelty yarn
Sometimes, even a yarn snob like me has to succumb to knitting bubblegum pink acrylic eyelash novelty yarn.
I knitted this for my cousin's daughter, way back when. Poor lass lost the scarf recently and was, apparently inconsolable. She is 7 now. So, dutiful almost-aunty that I am, I agreed to knit another one. It had to be as near the same as I could possibly get it. Even down to the aching fingers and shiny red fingertips that result from knitting this darned petroyarn stuff.
I hate it. And yet I will complete it (even having knitted one ball and my mother frogging and reknitting the whole ball on my behalf, on bigger needles with fewer stitches, to make it go faster and take less yarn - gottaluvvamutha!!!!!). I just hope this second one lasts her as long.....

My cousin just asked me if I'd knit her daughter a nice pink scarf if she bought the yarn for me. I said yes, but no eyelash yarn was one of the conditions!

At least with eyelash yarn you can use bigger needles and fewer stitches to make it go away faster......
