Wheelin' Around.....


The holidays are gone but I crochet on! I'm working on another Catherine's Wheel scarf from the pattern I found on Ravelry.com.  My first one was a Christmas present for my mom done with cream and a nice tweedy yarn in shades of blue/navy (see picture at right column). This new one is the same cream but its a tweedy green instead. They look like the same scarves in the picture, but the only similarity is that I used Patons Kroy Socks yarn for them. mom's scarf had cream for Yarn A and the new one has cream for yarn B.

I learned a lesson in the first one I made, weave in your ends as you go! It too me two days to weave in the ends on mom's. My current project I am weaving them in every few rows completed. That way they don't get in the way as I crochet the border and it won't feel like forever to get them in. I was so happy with the first scarf. It really is a pretty pattern, and looks more like knitting than crochet. When this new one is finished it will be off to Germany. =)
