Such a bad idea

Ok so I'm actually working on my Branching out scarf, in the crappy fuzzy yarn. Gah what a horrible idea. I'm only on row 8 but I see no pattern, it's just too fuzzy, thick and it's taken me hours to complete just those 8 rows (of course I am at work have to answer the phone so that's not helping). Right now it looks like crap. Oh and 27 pattern repeats!?! That's crazy, at the rate I'm going it won't be done until next Christmas 2007. I'm going to keep going in the hopes that something will work out and look ok. Ugh, it's really bad. Thank god it's not for me.
