Happy Birthday, ARPANET

It was 44 years ago today .....
UCLA said "LO" to Stanford

...bah...boucle...

++ boucle ++
A type of yarn, usually three-ply and having one thread looser than
the others, that produces a rough-textured cloth
-or-
yarn with loops producing a rough, nubby appearance on
woven or knitted fabrics

either way ..... b-o-u-c-l-e ..... spells "trouble"

I imagine this yarn would be much easier to knit than to crochet.
I used the skien I had to make a scarf using only single crochet.
As long as I had the same amount of stitches on each row,
I was happy.

 It made a nice, soft scarf 
and you really can't tell where the mis-stitches are,
although,
I'm pretty sure there are quite a few.
