Crochet flower scarf

>> Wednesday, November 16, 2005


How cute is this scarf? I saw a girl wearing it today, and said to my friend "look at her scarf! it's so cute" then literally seconds later saw it in a store window. So I bought it. It was only $10. But of course this doesn't justify buying a scarf. I think I've already mentioned that I've made quite a few scarves. I like to knit, it's a quick, easy project, I don't have to concentrate too much and can watch movies etc. at the same time. It's a great way to use those skeins of yarn that I only buy 1 or 2 of, on a whim because I can't resist them in the yarn store (I've never managed to leave Romni Wool or Knitomatic without anything. And usually I'm clutching what can only be described as a yarn spree). So why am I buying a scarf?

I do buy things from other people who make crafts, and in those cases I feel good about it because I'm supporting someone else who makes crafts. And sometimes it's because I know how long it would take to make something, and how much the yarn would be, if I could even find it, so I know it's a good deal. But really, even I have to admit I have too many scarves. Of course I make lots of things for other people too, but I can't show those things on the blog because Christmas is coming up and it would ruin the surprise...

I've been thinking about what to make for you! Lately it's been scarves, hats and bags, so you'll have to give me a hint about which of those you'd like best, also about colours too. Haleigh has already picked out yarn for her bag!
