Ruffled Scarf

My crazy mother is moving to Siberia. Seriously, an island in cold, cold Russia. I mean, Colorado gets cold, but nothing like that. Oh well I will miss having my Mom and Step dad in America, but I know that they will really enjoy these new life experiences.
Here is a bit of info on it: Sakhalin

But before she goes, she needs some warmer things. In Houston, Texas, she never really needed a scarf, now she really will. So I crocheted a ruffled scarf for her.

I had forgotten to take pics, so this was a quick pic after a hike, and before Mom packed the scarf. That boy has to be involved in everything! Love him!


Good luck Mom! We love you!

For Christmas my wonderful Mom and Step-dad gave me a crochet starter set. I immediately fell in love. It is similar to knitting, but I think there are more things and options you can do with crochet. It took me two hours, trying to teach myself out of the book I received, but after a 6o second video online, it clicked and there was no turning back.
My first project was a ruffled scarf. I found the pattern in the book, but it is very similar to this project. It was super easy, and a great beginner project.
Sorry, I did not feel like modeling, but it is really cute on.

My second project was a hat. I was trying to make a baby hat. BUT I ended up making a big hat for myself. It is kind of a beanie, or a really cool hair net! Not what I had imagined, but wearable, and a great learning experience.

So give crocheting a try. You can find hundreds of videos and lessons online, and once you start, you won't stop!
