Alrighty- here is the project I have been working on. It is a scarf. It is really very basic, but as you can see I am thrilled to have completed it. As you can see I am sporting a matching knitted hat, that I can not take credit for. My friend Catherine and I stumbled upon a random craft fair one day this fall, and there was a cute little old lady there, selling her wares. I purchased the hat because I feel very drawn to this color scheme lately... pinks, browns, greens.... (ok- not lately... all the time :) and also because the lady was just so darn cute (and proud!), I just could not resist. This clearly is not a hat that I will wear all of the time, but find it very seasonal, and functional. About one week later, I happened to come across the yarn used to make this hat in a local craft store. Of course I couldn't resist that either, and made a thrifty purchase of this acrylic yarn that ran me about $2.50. I figured it was a great starting point. So I hurried home, dug out my Nani's old crochet hook, fired up my laptop, and found this tutorial on youtube (see previous post). It did not take long to get the hang of it. I only had to re-teach myself, really... as I know I used to be able to crochet when I was younger. I found the tutorial helpful, and before long had created this matching accessory to my cute new hat. Can't you just picture me sitting there diligently stitching away?? Too funny... but still am looking forward to my next youtube project :)
