scarves!

so i've been hooked on crocheting lately. (hooked ... crocheting ... wow, i know) now that i've learned how to read patterns & learned that i can actually do it successfully, i'm all over it. first (well, first after the ones i posted last time), i made the daisy-chain scarf. it's hard to tell in the photo, but the green yarn has a little sparkly in it that's fun. then i made a gray scarf (photo below) and a pink hairy scarf, both from the same super-quick pattern. then we suddenly found out that feb. 1 was national wear red day for the american heart association. well, i didn't have a red scarf - so i made one. i mean, what else was i to do? and see the cute li'l scallop on the edge? adorable, right? and while i was shopping for the red yarn, i found the green shaggy yarn on clearance for $2 a skein. $2 a skein! i feel like i scalped a muppet when i'm wearing it, but it's so soft & warm and ... well, SHAGGY. it's great. i love scarves!



this is a close-up of the gray one. it shows you the v-stitch pattern. it's harder to see in the pink hairy one, on account of the hair, but it's the same v-stitch on both. the gray one's my mom's. it goes quite well with her black jacket.



this is the last one i made, and i'm really happy with it. no pattern to follow - just a simple double crochet, chain two & repeat to form a grid with the brown. then the orange is simply chained & woven through. this is not the softest of the scarves. the brown is all natural - not softened/processed/etc. & bought at a store. it came from lynn who got it from a friend who got it from her sheep. so it's a bit scratchy, but so cute i don't even care. i haven't worn it yet ... but when i do, i really hope lynn likes it. it's kind of a "i got the yarn from lynn, so she should like the end result" type of thing. i'm happy with it though. and it's my scarf. so yay! :)
