Scarves I Made For A Winter Scarf Swap





I was in a winter scarf swap over at Crochetville. Here are the scarves that I made for my swap partner. Now that she has received them, I can post pictures of
them. I couldn't decide what pattern I wanted to use for her scarf, so I started working up a few. I just kept going, and when they were all finished, I decided to send them all to her. She said on her survey that she really likes purple, so I made them all with at least some purple in them.

I really enjoy making scarves, because they work up pretty fast. They make great gifts, because in my opinion, if you live where it is cold in the winter, you can never have too many scarves!!

First Christmas Present Finished!!

I've gotten a little behind on posting here. I've been so busy that time just seems to get away from me. I have lots of projects in the works right now. I have a round ripple, a 2 strand ghan, scarves, a rug, and dishcloths in various stages of completion. But I did get this Round Ripple Afghan done for my Mom for Christmas. It is done in RHSS Yarn in the colors of Black and Artist Print. It ended up being 65 Inches point to point. I was going to make it bigger, but for 3 reasons I didn't: 1) she is still recovering from surgery and has limited mobility, so dealing with a monster round ripple wouldn't be a good thing, 2) she is 5'2", and doesn't really need a monster round ripple, and 3), I ran out of the Artist Print!! I decided to use this color scheme to match the 'Straight' Ripple ghan I made her when she was in the Hospital.

I have another one finished, and I will post about that one later. Right now, I hear my yarn and hook calling me, and I've learned that if I don't answer the call and start crocheting right away, I end up making mistakes!!
