Her other friend said once that he wanted a scarf that he could wrap around and around and around his neck. So when he came over recently for tea and sympathy, I offered up the scarf.
Actually, I offered up a fuzzier, wider, rainbow scarf that I was knitting. To which he exclaimed, "I'm gay, but not THAT gay!" Haha!
It won't make up for the fabulous Alexander McQueen scarf that he lost on the Matterhorn, but I said when he wraps this around himself, he'll be getting a virtual hug from both lil' sis and me.
Grey scarf made from one skein of acrylic baby yarn, soft but machine-washable. Measures 4 1/2 inches wide by 7 1/2 feet, longer if stretched taut.

yay for yarn creations! what a lovely accessory for your sister's friend, such a versatile shade of grey that'll go with basically anything.
ReplyDeletei also have a grey scarf hanging out in my yarn pile, to be knitted. the likelihood of me picking it back up is very slim.
wow so beautiful. you should start a knitting blog too hehe. I tried crocheting a while back and it was so so difficult for me. I think knitting should be even harder. I feel inspired again after seeing your work hehe
ReplyDeleteI like the color; such a nice light charcoal-grey. 7.5 feet long!!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I love to crochet too. We need to get together and eat and crochet!
ReplyDeleteLan,
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just crochet that scarf too? Or you've already started on the knitting? I want to try and make cute amigurumi like you do!
Wiffy,
I don't craft often enough to warrant a separate blog, so I just post on here when I occasionally do. Crochet is twice the yarn at half the time as knitting. Neither are particularly hard if you just do the basics. I can't do fancy stuff.
TS,
Longer than I am tall!
My,
Another crocheter coming out of the woodwork.
Oh my! I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteO, what a beautiful scarf :-) Love the color, metalic is always so sexy.
ReplyDeleteNick,
ReplyDeleteHaha!
Zlamushka,
Thanks! I love the soft grey myself and was quite tempted to keep the scarf, but it was already promised. :)
