Do you ever have an empty feeling after the big holiday gift/package/mail rush is over? Everything got done in time, but who knows with the weather if it will arrive on time. Now I don’t know what to do with myself. I should be doing all of the laundry I’ve neglected for crafting the past few weeks.
Instead, I crocheted a scarf for my daughter. It’s not a Christmas present. It’s just because I was gifted some yarn and it was fuzzy and cute and she needed a scarf that matched her brown hat and mittens.
The yarn is Lily Chin’s Nolita* and from my friend Amy. She destashed a lot of her fuzzy fibers and brought them to our last knitting guild meeting. It’s the perfect amount for a toddler sized scarf. It’s soft and cuddly, but a pain to rip if you make a mistake. I have another ball in green that I think would make a perfect cowl for me.
pattern: 16 double crochets across with a J hook. Final size was 4 x 30 inches after steam blocking.
*Don’t judge this yarn based on the awful photo on the website. It’s actually very pretty.

I think your scarf is beautiful. I do some crochet, but I haven’t branched out into all the special yarns–they seem so hard to work with! You did a great job!
I’m so glad you’re finding a use for the yarn! I hope B loves the scarf; it’s turning out quite lovely.
