Crafting 101

I wanted to stick this post in here for awhile, but haven’t been able to. I have a wonderful friend Allena (who you can find here and here) that wrote an easy LTC Scarf (Learn to Crochet Scarf). I didn’t know she made one until she mentioned it and I wanted to give her a plug! Also, to show how easy it is, I made one myself! I had some yarn leftover from a lapghan I made and I had a friend mention she loved that yarn and the colors so I decided to make her a scarf.

The yarn I used is Vanna White solid and one that was variegated. They looked really good together. I have never used that type of yarn, well, not something so fancy as Vanna White, but it was nice and at least at Wal-Mart it wasn’t too expensive.

So bad to the scarf, it was so super simple! I finished it in about an hour, that’s how simple it is! I used several different skeins of yarn, but you can use just the one and have it made in less than two hours. It’s also a great small and easy project to keep in your bag for when you are on the go. You can get the pattern here (it’s a Ravelry link). Again, if you haven’t joined ravelry yet, you must and LMK your ravelry user name so I can see what you’re doing!

I threw in a few pictures of the scarf. I think it looks really nice and it’s short to wear with just a nice outfit, but you could add more rows to it to make it thicker or add more chain stitches to make it longer. Anyways, it was fun and easy to do!
