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?!

Sometimes a person just needs instant gratification! Pretty colour! Save the dog!!
Pretty orange-y color!
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.
You funny girl! Wish I were closer to you - we could laugh together to life, hubbies, kids, cats, dogs,... Just keep on creating!
Hey, that scarf is amazing - it looks so funky, and I really love that fuzzy yarn you've been using! Your little furry one is just a scream - so cute!
Yes, orange! And that reminds me - where's that orange dudu picture?
