crochet scarf





I recently won some rather fabulius blog candy on Marie Greene's fabulous blog.
I decided to make her a little handmade something as a thank you, and she has recently decided to learn to crochet, so I thought I would crochet something to inspire her and show her it's not all naff toilet roll covers, lol.

One of the quickest and most impressive things I know how to make (without a pattern) is a solomon's knot scarf. This is a very lightweight scarf, so more decorative than warming, which due to the nature of the stitch can be worn in a multitude of ways, including as a very fetching lacy wrap.

Anyway, it will be posted out very soon, although, I've taken rather a liking to it and am tempted to keep it (I am actually wearing it right now, and even my husband just admired it), and the only way I could stop myself doing that was to make this blog post and announce it to the world. if I don't send it now I will look like a complete cow! lol

by the way fabulius was a typo, but I liked it as a word so I left it in, lol

    I think I'd have wanted to keep it too - but never mind, it won't take you long to whip up another .... or two!

  8. Oh what a beautiful scarf! I started crocheting last year but am not proficient in it yet. I'm mastered the granny square and am up to about 30 of those. Making a baby quilt with 49. lol
