Yarnification

Quickest scarf I’ve ever done. I bought a ball of Patons Evita (in Costa–it’s all pretty greens and yellows and oranges and grays) a few weeks ago and didn’t know what I wanted to do with it. It’s one of those railroad type yarns, with shiny thready bits alternating with soft fuzzy bits.

Last night while I was lounging around on the bed feeling sorry for myself over my very painful jaw and tooth, I decided I needed a distraction. I decided all the projects I have going at the moment required too much thinking for my pain-addled, highly medicated state, and then I remembered I’d been toying with the idea of a skinny scarf, one that would be an accessory rather than a warm outdoors scarf. And then I remembered that ball of Evita.

No pattern—just took a P hook, started with ch6, then did 5 sc across each row until I ran out of yarn. Weaving the ends in was no walk in the park—there’s got to be some trick to it, but I sure don’t know what it is. I used my #0 steel hook and pulled it through and around and through and around until it seemed secure, since I definitely didn’t have a yarn hook that seemed able to handle it.

Anyway, I’m happy with how it turned out. It’s long enough to wrap it around my neck and have the ends fall maybe 5 inches past my hips. I also took a closeup of what it looks like—the pic is a bit blurry, but you get the idea anyway.
