ribby scarf

With Fall in the air, I get on the mood to crochet scarves, oh, fine, I'm in the mood almost anytime to make scarves.

I'm crocheting this one using a post stitch to give it that ribbed look. Can't decide if it's going to be a narrow one of if I'll make it wider and warmer... It is 100% wool. I'll know when I get there!

potholder scarf

Last winter I came by a website of someone who had used a potholder loom with yarn instead of loopers, and sewed together the results into various forms. I ended up weaving up a scarf that I blogged about back a few months.

For some reason the urge hit me again, so this week I've worked up a potholder scarf in two colors of Cascade 220 wool. Here are the results:

I was really pleased with the random crossings that using two strands of red and white created. As crazy as this sounds I've already started another one. This one will be lacy with each block a different color. I'll let you know how that one turns out!
