Another Scarf....

Here is the scarf I just finished; it will be going up on my Etsy site for sale (how many scarves can my family actually use???).  I had purchased two skeins of eyelash yarn - one lime and the other olive - for a craft project with my Girl Scout troop over the summer.  Once I got them home and tried them, neither worked for the project.  Here I was, stuck with two skeins of yarn that I had only used about 6 inches from. 

Recently I ran across the skeins again.  I decided to try knitting the two together, because I didn't like the individual color of either.  I was pleasantly surprised when the scarf turned out so pretty.  These colors that looked so awful alone, and I would never have normally put together, ended up looking great together.  The photo doesn't do it justice - there is so much depth to the color.  It is a very thick, plush scarf since it was knit with two strands of eyelash yarn.

Hope you have a great crafting day!

Scarves

Before Christmas, I knitted about 15 scarves for gifts.  I was getting so fast that I could whip out a scarf in a few evenings.  All of the scarves I made for gifts this past Christmas were made with eyelash yarn, but I made about every color you could imagine.  Some were sparkly and others were not. 

I made three of the Ohio State scarves below - one for my daughter, one for my sister-in-law who works for OSU, and one for my mom who was preparing to head to the Rose Bowl.  I guess the only person that got left out was me, but that seems to always be the case - moms always take care of everyone else first.  I also made my daughter a similar scarf that was sparkly blue and orange (our high school's colors) for her to wear at my son's sporting events.
