Here is the finished scarf. It's the Noro Striped Scarf by Jared Flood, it's free on Ravelry. I forgot to measure it and my daughter wore it to school so I'll have to measure when she gets back.  It doesn't look even and I'm not sure why, my cast off edge isn't the best either.

Yesterday was a bit disappointing form a craft point of view.  I cast 160 stitches on for my husband's sweater (the back) with stitch markers every fifty stitches to make sure my count was right.  I was about 3/4 of the way through the row when I realized I did it wrong.  I was doing 1x1 rib and the pattern called for 2x2.  So I ripped it all out and said I'll try again later. I tried to get one repeat done on my daughter's socks but didn't finish.  I put a "7" on the paper to say where to start the calf increases but I don't remember if it's before or after the seventh repeat.  Today I will cast on my husband's sweater again and try to work on it for two hours (not in row, I will take breaks).  If I get that done (big if) I'll go back to working on my shawl.  I got messed up on what row I was on and added stitches and really I was fine.  I just won't add stitches till I'm at the right stitch count again, I don't think you will be able to tell.

I talked to one of my sisters for two and a half hours yeasterday.  I don't mind since I only talk to her once a week or every other week.  If I did it every day that would be a problem.  I watched an episode of Let's Eat and some Running Man.  Let's Eat was making my daughter and I hungry.  The next episode of Running man has TVXQ! on it so I'm wondering if my daughter will want to watch with me like she did with the Big Bang episode.  Today is supposed to be a WOW day but I can't find my authenticator.  If I find it I'll play but until then I'll listen to podcasts.

I am really bad at spelling.  If an English word (the computer doesn't like Korean words) has the little red line under it I look it up in Yahoo! or Google.  The thing is that so many other people are bad spellers sometimes it pulls up misspelled websites or articles and it is harder to find the right word.  On the plus side writing almost every day has helped me when I misspell the same word over and over I get it right eventually.  That's it for today.  I'll show you my spinning next time.
