I won this lovely crochet pattern (Basic Circle Scarf) from Olivia at My Favourite Things.
I admire Olivia's crochet work and was delighted to try this pattern.
I had two skeins of Alpaca yarn.
One in a solid blue/grey and the other in a multi color.
The original pattern called for crocheting with two strands and since the Alpaca yarn
was quite chunky -- I decided to experiment and see what would happen.
Would I have enough yarn?
Olivia's scarf is 8 inches wide and mine is a tad over 4.
I was able to repeat the pattern once instead of the number called for in the original pattern
and held my breath on the last row.
I tried it on today and I love it.
The Alpaca yarn is so soft.
I want to cuddle the scarf.
Perhaps I'll sleep with it tonight!
We have more cool weather (cool for us) coming.
I will be ready.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Your scarf turned out beautifully! I love the colour :)
It is lovely...wonderful colors and if it is soft, you're so going to love wearing it.
Isn't it a great feeling when an experiment works? Love these colours and love that you thought about sleeping in it to beat the cold! xo
It's lovely! I'd cuddle it too.
I have a scarf in colors much like yours - I wear it a lot because it goes with everything. Of course, I didn't make mine. I wanted to tell you that your post on impossible pie got me to thinking, and I made my own homemade Bisquick. I've made spinach pie 2x - my husband likes it. Yesterday, I made a coffee cake with the mix.
The colours in your yarn are so pretty; it's great when an experiment works out well!
wow it sounds a fabulous project!
