Crochet: V-Stitch Scarf

 It's scarf time. This is one I did when I was still recovering from being sick. The next one will be for my SO as she doesn't have a black scarf and we are heading to Tasmania at the end of the month. We need all the warmth we can get! It might snow. I haven't been near snow since I was a kid. It's exciting.
I'm happy with my crochet challenge so far. I feel like I'm getting through the yarn. It does help I've decided to start with the bulkier yarn and I do have a lot of it 👀

Challenge Item #5: V-Stitch Scarf


Description

This is a two-toned, apparently I love two-toned, scarf using pink and cream with one half mirroring the other in style, but swapped colours.

The pattern does have a bulkier feel to it compared to other V-stitch patterns, but still with a lacy factor.

The dimensions come to 210cm (82inches) long x 24cm (9.4inches) wide which makes it the longest scarf I have made yet. I love a long scarf, but after this one I'm going to scale it back down to 190cm (75inches) in length.

Crochet: Striped Mindless Scarf

So I was sick for a little over a week. I wasn't able to crochet, which is how I was able to tell how sick I was, but I still jumped on my stationary bike every day 🙄 That anxiety and OCD life, yo. It doesn't let up when you're sick.

Anyway...

I think I'm amassing a nice collection of scarves. I realised I still had tape yarn leftover from when I made my placemat settings, but didn't have enough left to create a tablecloth. I'm going to be using the tape yarn for scarves. It'll be interesting to work with, I do find tape yarn frustrating, but the yarn will make some lovely, chunky scarves.

Crochet: Ripple Scarf

This is the third project in my crochet challenge. Apparently I'm having a chevron, aka ripple stitch, binge. In other news I found someone to give my Red and Brown Oma blanket to. My delightful Nephew C came over with my Moeke for lunch and games. It's something we do every now and then. It was cold and I gave Nephew C the blanket to keep warm. He loved it, which is great, and I offered it to him for keeps. He has the best reaction to things too. He is forthright, positive, and enthusiastic when he comes across something he enjoys. So naturally his reaction to the blanket was only the best kind.

I've found somewhere to donate a few items as well. A women's shelter nearby is happy to accept some items and I'm currently on a mission to make them scarves, beanies, and cowls they can hand out during these cold months.
