I now know why I saw so many women in Seattle last week wearing scarves without coats. This is a trend I wasn’t familiar with. However, I finished my scarf and blocked it yesterday, so of course I had to wear it all day today. And boy, it does make a difference! It kept me nice and warm when a jacket would have been a bit too much.
And here’s a close-up of the stitchwork:
Obviously, I came up with a solution for the edging. It’s a simple border of chain stitches, six between each loop. I’m really happy with how it came out. So happy, in fact, that I think I’ve found my new favorite souvenir. A scarf from every trip…why not?
I did enter it in the Make It Pink challenge as well, so there’s a dollar for Susan G. Komen. If you’re crafty, whip up something pink to support the cause!

Thanks!
Ha! I’M not making 60 scarves…that’s the goal of the woman who’s organizing…that 60 scarves get made. I think the group is close to 200 scarves now for this year. I don’t think my hands would survive that much crocheting. 😉
