Finished another scarf about 6.5 feet long and 6 inches wide. This one is knitted with Lion Brand Chunky, knit up pretty fast since it's so chunky on size 15 needles. Think this is large enough for men, but looks more ladylike to me? What do you think? I love how thick and plush it feels. Nice tight stitches so it should be super warm.Though I spend the bulk of my time working on afghans from your donated squares, I do a fair amount of scarves, when I need something that travels, something I can work on at work during lunch etc. I do often edge squares in those settings; but find I really need to be home to assemble them, particularly if I'm working on one where the squares are lots of different sizes, soooooooo scarves are the first thing that comes to mind.

Love the scarf Sandy. I'm gonna have to try that chunky yarn!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be ok for man or woman, either one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne Marie, I just couldn't decide. It's dark red, not bright and has the black in it. So, I made it large enough for a guy, then wondered. Appreciate the visit and comment.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf. I think a man would like it. But it will keep someone nice and warm!
ReplyDeleteI see my name in there...hahaha...nice scarf Sandy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this scarf, Sandy. I think it could be for a man or woman, also. Especially since the red is dark. It just looks so nice and cozy too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOooooh! This looks so warm! My first impression was female; but, it may look more manly in person. I'm sure the scarf will be happy with whomever chooses it!
