I always love Patton's Yarn, and had fun crocheting this scarf which was a bit over 7 foot long and 6.5 inches wide. When you knit or crochet with variegated yarns you really don't know how it's going to look, there's a surprise every couple of rows. This is nice and large for our men folk outside. Big enough to really wrap around a couple of times.Been busy continuing to work on afghans from your squares, as of the writing of this scheduled post, working away on Mother Earth, stay tuned. **Edited this to add, since this post was scheduled Mother Earth has been completed, and as of last night finished another one...you'll have to keep checking in for the reveal; as it's post is also in que. Will be starting on Kaleidoscope today.**
Have you checked the working calendar lately. I've added several more months worth of focuses. Remember, with the exception of squares; we collect everything all year long....the focus of something each month is to highlight what's needed...and to aid you if you're wondering what to make. Please check the tabs of each item for details on colors and size requirements.

Wow! That's a loooooong scarf - you are so right about it being wrappable and based on the men in my world - those are the best!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty -- in a manly way, of course! I'm always amazed and surprised at how the shaded yarn works up. (I've got one more scarf to send this week.Yeah me. I'm slooooo w on scarves!)
ReplyDeleteSunshine to all from Sandie in FL
The camo. yarn is cool looking. I had not seen it before. I'm not much of a shopper. I need to get out more and check out some other yarns. Oh, wait! I still have a yarn stash to work through.
ReplyDeleteThanks psmflowerlady, batlfit and Harvest...appreciate the visits and comments. I always make my scarves big both in width and length when making them for men. Sized them up again my husband who is just over 6 ft.
ReplyDeleteSandy, your scarf is WONDEFUL! Just love the way the yarn makes it's own pattern and it is always a surprise! It will certainly keep some lucky guy nice and cozy!
ReplyDeleteNice looking scarf.
