The cowl scarf I made used about half the yarn that I expected it to take, so I was left with 2 skeins of that wonderfully soft bamboo blend. I finally decided that I would make a scarf for myself. Maybe. Oh, I'll make the scarf... MAYBE I'll keep it. I can't decide if I really want a scarf. Oh, sure, there may be occasions when I might wear one for the cold. You know, if I go visit the snow somewhere. But there are people who would wear it for a fashion accessory. I would like to think I would do more to accessorize, but I'm not kidding myself about choosing to wear a scarf around all day. I just don't see that happening. I'll probably give it to someone who likes the green, and would wear it.
The scarf I'm knitting is pretty plain and simple. I'm knitting every row, and the scarf lays nice and flat. The needles are pretty small, too. This is going to take a while to knit, I'm thinking, with those tiny needles. That was what appealed to me, though, after doing the cowl on larger ones for a lacier effect. I'm almost through the first skein of yarn, and I can't tell if the two skeins will be enough for what I want, though. I'd really like to sew the ends together and make an infinity scarf. I think it would look really nice that way.
Perhaps on someone else, though. Anyone want to volunteer for scarf experimentation?

lol if you don't get any other taker's I'll volunteer for the "scarf experiment".
Would you like to try an infinity scarf? Have you seen any like that?
why sure......Is that what you did for Carrie? I just looked for infinity scarf's and they look rather cool. Count me in!
I knitted Carrie's round. The infinity scarf is knitted like a regular scarf, then when you are done, you give it a twist and sew the ends together. Then you slip it over your head, and give it a turn and over your head again. Depending on how close to your neck or "tight" you want it. It shouldn't really be tight though, it should create a kind of cowl effect, but a little different than Carrie's.
sounds like that will work for me, thanks
