A Colorful Scarf for Me

This winter has been cold, and dreary, and long, and frankly I am a little sick of it. But there is still a while to go, so to lift my spirits and add a little color to my winter life, I made myself this scarf.

It was high time I made something for me. “Yes, a scarf for me, thank you very much” is what I told people when they asked what I was making. And it felt good to say that. So often us crafters are making for others that indulging in a make for ourselves is a welcome change, wouldn't you agree?   

I used my leftover yarn from the girls' ponchos – a lovely orange color called Punkin.

I chose to do a granny stripe pattern which I have tried several times before without much luck. I know it is a simple pattern, but in my previous attempts my work got all bunchy and would not lay flat. This time though things worked out lovely; what a soothing pattern to crochet.

My gorgeous scarf, a definite burst of color to chase away the winter blahs and encourage spring to come just a little bit quicker.
