Okki so the height of summer has finally arrived in the UK - thank god. While its utterly lovely outside and I'm wearing the sun burnt marks to prove it, I've been finishing off my first crochet fashion accessory - the hugely thick and snug winter "
Funky Chunky Scarf "as shown upon this blog when I first stumbled across the magazine it featured within - Crochet Today.
Costing £6.95 [for yarn] its been incredibly easy to complete [made of up row after row of treble and double treble stitches] it was made crocheting two threads of yarn [or as us English folk say - wool] - hence the super thick hook required. Adding to the thickness and other-all snugness, its turned out amazingly soft [may perhaps have more to do with the wool, however in my case that was just £1.39 500g balls]. While its missing from my images of the completed scarf, its finished off with three, yes three, rows of tassels upon each end. Its an utterly gorgeous scarf if I do say so myself and will keep the bitter coldness out for sure. Its all ready and set to hit the Detroit winter!

| Gwad i'm feeling brave - hardly any make up and no glasses. Yet with a hint of sunburnt arms and my lovely winter scarf. |

Great job! Love the scarf and the zingy shade of red, too.
