New task

I was looking through my blog and was reminded that I had not finished my sock as it was missing its pair.
New task...after I've finished my puff stitch scarf (hopefully today) I'll finish my sock.

Same design different colour



I decided to do another scarf, just for the purpose of crocheting. Its crazy really, I have other projects that I've not completed but here I am starting new ones. Oh well...I started this project yesterday evening, and the only time I stopped was to sleep. I've nearly finished this now.
I'm using another type of wool instead of "chunky" which I found in a local shop. It doesn't say a specific size, I just had to judge it for myself. The label reads "Luxury Aran by Sheena Anne".
Again I'm using 8mm crochet hook.

A quick note, the puff stitch takes up a lot of wool. I suggest buying a couple of wool.

A thinner scarf



I decided to make another scarf, with all the "chunky" wool I had left over. However this time I made the scarf thinner, so that it could fit around my neck comfortably. I think it looks too thin personally. I've never seen a scarf in stores this size. But anyway I'm wearing it, and it feels so cozy.
I used a 8mm crochet hook to create this scarf.
The quality of this photo isn't good, I'm tempted to change it.

I'm really behind on my knitting...but here it is!

O.k...It has taken me a bit longer than I thought to finish my scarf. I've been really busy.
But here it finally is.


However I'm not happy with this scarf, Its too thick around my neck. I think the problem with this one was when I brought the "chunky" wool instead of my usual type, I never considered that there would be a complete difference. They felt the same. My wool is much more softer whereas this wool is hard, so it doesn't rest smoothly around my neck, If that makes sense.
I think the only time I will be using this scarf is if there is a blizzard.
