Crochet!

Look what I have been up to in between working on UFOs. I made this scarf from one of the balls of yarn I won a couple weeks ago from Hot Lava Crochet. The ball of yarn had 202 yards. I used just about all of it to make this scarf. It worked out perfect. The yarn is Vanna's Glamour.
 It has a bit of silver metallic thread in it. You can find this pattern on Fiber Flux. It is a free pattern.
 I participated in a crochet along on Fiber Flux also. She had some great tips for a beginner like me. Here is the finished cowl that she taught. Thanks to my lovely daughter for modeling both so I could take pictures.
Check out Fiber Flux if you crochet. She has some great freebies and tutorials.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
