Rustica Scarf

[Frangipani]

I made this scarf last night using Panda Rustica. It's all in double crochet and then I weaved two different colours of yarn through the scarf. Waddya think?

Love it! Weaving in the different colors was a great idea.

[Reba]

Oh wow! That weaving the yarn through--that's a really great idea! I've got to try that sometime, it looks really good.

Looks nice and thick

It's amazing how some things can look so soft and fluffy in a picture. I agree that it would be a good yarn for an afghan.

The scarf is really nice. I just jumped over to your Sidneys Stitchers site. It is looking really great. I love the hats you have done & of course I love the onesies. I really like making those. It is such a quick, gratifying project & a good cause all at the same time. I am supose to show a friend of mine how to do that pattern next week. Can't wait. Ok, I know I got off subject. Sorry, but at least it was still Crochet:lol

Thank you everyone for the encouraging comments! Yes, it's getting COLD down here. The days are starting to feel like those cold/crisp/sunny fall days we get back in California in late October (descriptive, eh?).

We're due for some serious wet days though which will be great!!

 

This was my first time working with a yarn that gets FAT then skinny then FAT again (very technical I know) so that's how it got such a fluffy effect.

 

Thanks again!

they are adorable. crochet is THE thing and i love doing it almost as much as eating pie!!!!! :lol the onsies are nice too for babies, and i think its great that you both do them, bec your scarf is wonderful. i wondered how that kind of yarn was to work witha(not the brand , but the thick, thin stuff) and it is beautiful. feels like fall here right now, is down in the 40's. i am ready for some sunshine and WARM temps!!!!!! :lol :lol vicki
