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?

...that's an 8.5x11 piece of paper in the background. :-) So the scarf itself is ending up... well, quite a bit wider than I initially expected, well over 6 inches when not scrunched up, so I'm going to have to buy more balls of each of the two types of yarn I'm using to finish it. I'll probably end up switching the 'smooth' yarn for another color like their Evergreen or Plains variety each time I change balls so the scarf will end up with distinct blocks to it.

Sounds cool. Thats about as wide as I would want one to be. Now I have to get a job then hire you to make one for me!
