Charity Shop find

5 skeins of wool for £3??? Yes please! 

What to make?

Not enough for a blanket.

A scarf it is.

It is made with a 10mm crochet hook, and starts with 150 chain, followed by a line of single crochets and then three rows of treble crochets, finished with a line of single crochets. Around the edges I am adding a shell detailing, which isn't finished just yet.

Bank Holiday Make

I have been so busy writing my dissertation that having something crafty to pick up in-between paragraphs makes it seem as if I am able to spend some of my day doing something that I like. So, whilst finishing my literature review and having visits from family, I made this ..

I used the shell design which can be found here. I must say, this scarf did take me longer than the time suggested on this tutorial, I have made it one shell wider than the instructions and it does measure (without tassels) 70" long. 

As you can see in the picture below, I have made it in 'thirds' the first and third section are identical, the middle has the same patter but is predominately pink, rather than grey. 

 A closer view of the shells.

I love this scarf. Am looking forward to winter .. on the other hand, if our spring-summer continues the way it has been, maybe I won't need to wait so long!
