Flannel and lace infinity scarf

I saw a great idea on Pinterest.  Flannel and lace infinity scarves.  The Pin took me to a lovely Etsy page where I could purchase this beautiful scarf.  I said to myself, "Angie Good" (because I use my first and last name when I address myself inside my...head which really inside myself).  I said, "Angie Good, you can so make this."  Then I used Google to search "flannel and lace infinity scarf how to make."  Grammar and Google really don't matter.

I was then directed to a lovely link where someone with superb writing skills guided me with simple, clear directions to sew said scarf.

With the first one complete, I was thinking that I could whip-up a second one.

I am going to let you in on a little secret.  I am not working tomorrow.  I, Angie Good, will be spending the day with Rhonda in the Windy City.  Our first stop being the Randall Road Goodwill.  Wait!  Who am I really kidding?  Our FIRRRRRST stop will be for coffee and then the Goodwill.  Hellooooo!  I know us.

I decided with the second and third and fourth and so on :) scarves that I would serged all the sides before putting the pieces together.  This will give it a finished look.

Side #1 of scarf 2...got about 2/3 of the way done and noticed serger spool #1 (as in the first to be threaded - and may I add that it's the trickiest) was not feeding in to the machine. Yes, the thread had snapped and my happily serging-away-self discovered that NO, indeed it was not serging. 

It is quarter-to-ten and I have had a longish sort of Thursday sooo instead of trying to re-thread this machine, I am going to turn off the power and go watch White Christmas.
