Scarf WIP

[wolfwings]

Saw two yarns I couldn't resist when going to Jo Ann's Fabrics with ironbadger yesterday. Moonlight Mohair: Rain Forest and Moda Dea KickX: Curious. Nothing fancy, simple two-in-one knitting resulting in a really thick, plush scarf. Will have leftover Moonlight Mohair (the non-fluffy yarn) that'll end up being turned into a 'lanyard' style loop at one end of the scarf, so I can pull the other end through the loop to secure it around my neck easilly, or hang it on a wall somewhere. 12 yards may be enough I'll be able to race the yarn back to the far end and add a fringe at the non-looped end after the loop's done, but that gets made first.

I may do another in more subdued forest tones, if this turns out well would anyone out there be interested in me making them one?

Re: I know how to do both actually.

www.doctorwhoscarf.com is one of the best resources I've found so far. Patterns and tips. :3 Figuring 28 skeins or so, at about $3/sk... so about $84 just for materials. :b Ugh.

And that's assuming you do it with cheap yarn.

That might end up REALLY scratchy. If you do it out of alpaca or something similairly-plush, double that cost per skein but don't reduce the skein-count.
