Fern Forest Scarf

This is an orange scarf update. I said that the scarf was inspired by a pattern that I saw. I found the pattern and would like to give credit to the designer. The book is Crochet: 20 simple and stylish designs to wear by Jane Davis. The book can be found at Amazon  http://tinyurl.com/7hp4mzy.  I may make another scarf using another whole different set of colored and textured yarns. I wish I could show you her picture of the scarf. Even the name is lovely Fern Forest Scarf. There is also a pattern for matching Fern Leaf Mittens.

It's Orange!

As I said, it's orange. Lots of orange. Many oranges.

Many years ago I made a friend an orange scarf. Last fall, her house got struck by lightning and burned. Insurance took care of her basic needs etc., but as all of us who have been there know, you lose more than just your "stuff". I decided to make her a new orange scarf. I did not have time to make the yarn like her last one, but found a pattern for a most cool replacement. When I get my act together, I'll find the link.

I had fun looking for all kinds of orange yarns. I got some that were thick, some thin, some dark in color and some light in color. Most were wool/wool blends, but I did find a variegated gold/orange/green silky tape. Each row or two was either a different yarn or different stitch. All in all, it was a fun exercise in texture and I think she liked it.
