Life has been pretty stressful, so I deciding to take up crocheting again. It really is a great stress reliever, plus, it’s fun and it results in some pretty cool shit to clutter up my house even more.
I decided to take a break from hats for awhile though (since my last project didn’t turn out quite as expected) and try something a little easier, so I picked out a scarf to make. I wanted something basic, yet stylish as I was determined to make something I could actually wear in public.
Here’s the scarf I decided to make:
It seemed straightforward enough. I followed the instructions exactly! I just knew I was going to end up with a masterpiece scarf!
Here’s how mine turned out:
It didn’t actually quite turn out the way I had hoped. Mine is a lot bigger and kind of looks like a giant piece of bacon. (Special thanks to my niece Alex for being brave enough to model it for me and agreeing to let me post her picture in this ridiculous scarf on the internet.).
I don’t know what happened, but I’m not willing to admit complete defeat. Maybe…this style will catch on and become the new popular accessory this fall. You never know! My niece said it was really warm. Maybe if I send it to a fashion designer it will end up on a major runway this year and I’ll make a butt ton of money. A girl can always dream.
I’m not giving up on scarves just yet. I found another one I want to make so stay tuned to my blog. You don’t want to miss my my next catastrophe of a crochet project!
