A Gift of Inspiration

  My cousin bought me a hand crocheted scarf at a craft fair for Christmas -- so soft, so bright, so "Hey, I can make this!"
   So, I am hoping to make several scarves in the coming year to give as gifts for Christmas 2015.  It seems fitting that this first scarf should be made with a pattern named 'The Gift.'

I opted for a cream color ('Pearl') yarn by Yarn Bee.  It cost $5.49 per skein at Hobby Lobby (gulp! I didn't have a coupon!)  The yarn:

Yarn Bee  Andes Alpaca  (70% Acrylic 30% Alpaca)

It took 480 yards (4 skeins) and a full day to make this:

The scarf measures approximately 8 1/2 inches wide by 66 inches long.  Plenty of scarf there to block the Indiana winter winds. 

Hope you received a little inspiration this Christmas, too!
