Infinity Scarf


               My Aunt is probably one of my most favorite people. She is my big sister, best friend and a great mom to me. She is and has always been there with me, through my angsty middle school years, broken hearts and finding and falling for my best friend, she was one of the Maids of Honor at my wedding, and shes my roommate every time my husband is gone for the weekend. I just wish she was just a little girlier so I could make her pretty things for Christmas. Oh well no body's perfect.

Pattern: 
              I used Loops and Threads Charisma in red and a size H hook.
Chain 21 turn and make 2 sc in the second loop from the hook. Sc in the next 8 loops, skip 2, sc 8 more times, sc 2 in the last loop. chain 1 turn.

             And there its that simple, 2 in one, 8, skip 2, 8, 2 in one, chain one turn. When you get to the end sew them together to make the infinity part of the infinity scarf.
             I found that it makes a wonderful scarf, nice and simple yet still has a subtle pattern with the chevrons. All in all a great, quick, "I'm running out of time before Christmas" gift.

Skinny scarf



                Guys are the hardest to shop for and it even harder to make things for them. Its just not fair, but I guess crochet is just too pretty to be considered manly. I showed you the hats I made for my brothers here, but here is another gift I made for a male member of my family for Christmas. My very tall cousin. 
                 Rich is way on the tall side so I wanted to make something skinny and very long to try and match his frame, I used Lion brand yarns Wool-ease thick & Quick stripes and a size I hook. Chained 13 inserted in the 3rd loop from the hook and half doubled my way till I was out of 2 balls of yarn. Trust me when I say its long here is me being anaconda'ed by it 
 
Told you so. 
          Anyway it was really quick and really easy and I hope he will like it as will and manley scarf wearers you might make this for :)

Back and better the ever

               I'm sorry about the long break, I just got the internet turned on in the new place and things are back in motion. Ive got some new things finished that I cant wait to show yall. Including infinity scarves and a couple of scarves that worked up with the leftover yarn. I also will be working on some new things once I finish the two I've got going now. Give me a day or two to get everything photographed and typed up, until then I must bid you farewell.
