Orange crush

I have 3 sweaters in my knitting bags, waiting patiently for me to attend to them. So I knit something entirely new. I had one skein of some fuzzy, soft yarn which I had intended to use as an accent on a felted bag. I made a scarf instead. Pattern: pattern?... I don't need no stinking pattern! Yarn: A Joann Exclusive (I'm a sucker for anything "exclusive")... the label reads "Castaway... A hairy boucle with a soft and stylish twist". I could not make that up if I tried! Love me some "stylish, hairy" yarn! Needles: 2 very large bamboo dpns (they were the first large needles I came across... yes, I wanted instant gratification) Review of the "stylish, hairy" yarn: It is very hairy. It is very soft. I didn't split the yarn too often. It is very heavy. My skinny scarf is getting skinnier by the second. Pretty soon it will pull itself into a single strand of yarn again. You can see the weight of the yarn is crushing Coffee. The yarn color looks great on brown, don't you think?!

I really like big needles to get things done quickly! The doggie really does go well with the scarf. You'll have to carry her when you wear it - you'll look so classy together.
