Scarf Swap

I was lucky and did get my scarf Friday nite, but totally forgot to post a picture until tonite!
finished scarf Sorry, doesn't match my shirt LOL! Poor Marlena, she was asking questions about the yarn...kind of mysteriously, I thought she wanted to get some for herself. Well version 1 was almost done and she was almost out of yarn. So I tried it on, and um..it was wrapped like this at the neck and both sides touched the floor. I'm only 5'3"...yikes. So, nice gal that she is, she frogged the whole thing and made it shorter! Version 2 is perfect now, I mean, I can already trip on my own 2 feet, don't need any help! ;)

One-Skein Crochet Scarf from SnB Crochet, The Happy Hooker. The first link is to Paton's patterns, which has it free, you just have to register.

Inspection Lorna's Laces Worsted in Jeans Colorway
I received it as part of a swap. You see it here doubled, being inspected by Sapphire! She's not a photo loving kitty, not like some kitties we know and love! ;) I wouldn't mind a hat in this...hmmm I think someone was destashing some...

I'm almost done with armwarmer 2, hope to post it soon!

Anyways! I got my good old Singer sewing machine to work, so hoping I can start cranking out some needle cases.....wish me fast sewing luck!

Great scarf!! Glad you won't be tripping on it now - I'm like you, I trip enough without adding any obstacles. Happy sewing!

Pretty scarf--and probably oh so soft too!!

It must be nice if it got the camera-shy kitty stamp of approval!

Yay for working sewing machines! I need to get moving on some sewing projects meself. :)

Cute scarf! I had to do the same for my mom, she's 4'11" and I made it way too long for her. I did the cut-n-bindoff method.

I do know someone on ravelry destashing some LLSW in Jeans.
*ahem* Lol

Super cute scarf in the Lorna's Laces Worsted Jeans colorway! I have knitted up a quick scarf for in the same yarn but different colorway. Argyle. This is some really squishy soft yummy yarn.

I am so happy you just got your machine back. I am kicking my self in the butt here because I just gave 6 black large bags full of wonderful array of fabrics that you might have wanted to go through. I held on to it for a few more days and was ready to dump it a Goodwill Industries. I wished I coud have passed around some of that yarn to everyone.
Get you foot petal roaring.....sew some something beautiful!

Ok, you know I mean't to say Fabric and not yarn.. although I am thinking about going through some old yarn, leftovers and books.

Nice scarf! I had that problem with one of my Red Scarves - I figured it should be about my height in length, and it was almost double!

Jeans is one of my favorite Lorna's colors. Love your scarf.
