I made it just a little longer than I am tall and hope it will be okay for him. I don't think Jos will like having a scarf that is way long after being looped around his neck. I also have to be careful as I am afraid it might stretch a little. I used double strands of grey wool blend yarn. It is a double crochet simply switching from stitching in the back loops for a row and front loops for the next. I used a larger hook (6,5mm) which might cause stretch.
This morning while checking my emails, I was reading the Lion Brand newsletter and this is the Lola cartoon for this time. I had to really laugh. Up to now, I often sneak onto my mother's blog and put them on there as they make me think of her but I think today....Miss Pickles is Lola. *wink*

Yep, you are Lola this time. It is really cute.
ReplyDeleteI finally got all my crafts finished. I went to the store this morning and bought our ham and things to go with it. I am making green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, german potato salad and ham. We are having dinner on Christmas Eve since Bill is working a double on Christmas.
I mixed the cut out cookie dough yesterday and it is in the fridge ready to roll and cut. I will also make pizzelles. not sure if that is spelled right. Oh well.
Gifts are all wrapped and ready.
It started to snow today. Very little but more is due to hit us so I wanted to have everything done.
Have a great Christmas at the cottage.
Love you, Mom
PS: I totally forgot to say I really like Jos' scarf. duh.
ReplyDeleteLove again, Mom
You have been soooo busy! Lovely to hear from you again!
ReplyDeleteLast year I made everyone a gift and I think I burned myself out because this year I didn't make any gifts. lol. Part of it is I need to start really really early to get it done. It was a lot more fun though giving gifts I'd made. My family is so crafty, but I'm not so it's hard to come up with things they couldn't do better. Crochet was one of those things, now they are doing that too. I'll have to try and get into quilting again, that is one they don't do. You are a good inspiration for that. I hope your holidays are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great! And, Lola with that smoking crochet hook... That is the best!!!! Take care! - Amy
