Blue Boys'

   Form MUST follow function.  Ok, that's just my opinion: but, I honestly don't understand flat roofs in Indiana, dressers with tiny drawers, and winter scarves that don't keep out the cold and won't stay wrapped around a neck.  Super long and solid scarves for me.  I just hope the people I am making these for agree!

Lion Brand Hometown USA Chicago Charcoal  $2.99 per skein

Yarn Bee MadCap Navy  $7.99 per skein

The pattern I used was a simple single crochet, chain one pattern.  The Mad Cap yarn is flat and almost velvety to the touch.  I can't decide it I like it mixed with the bulky Lion Brand yarn.  Maybe, I should have held the Lion Brand in with the MadCap.  Hmmmm....

5 1/2 X 58 1/2

There is about 5 or 6 inches of snow on the ground -- perfect scarf weather.

Hope you are staying warm!

Amelia's Scarf

   After deciding that the pink and orange pom-pom scarf is going to go in the Good-Will bin, I went shopping for yarns that I like better.  And I think I found the type yarn that the girls' scarves will mainly be made with.  Yarn Bee Soft Illusions. (Of-course, I am likely to change my mind again later).  It is made for Hobby Lobby and sells for $6.49 per skein.
   I tested different stitches with the yarn and decided that I like the way the scarf hangs when using a simple half-double crochet stitch.  I used a size M crochet hook.  It measures  5 1/2" x 47" and took almost 2 skeins to make.

This one is for Amelia:

Yarn Bee Soft Illusions Islander

Can you tell it is fuzzy?
