It's officially Fall when yarn becomes just one of the everyday items rolling around in my purse. Train rides, casual family gatherings and hours in front of the TV are all perfect times to mindlessly stitch away. It's been a while since I've crocheted and so I decided to start up again with a fast-paced, non-threatening project like a scarf.
It took a few rows to get into the rhythm of the shell-stitch, but once I got going I quickly worked through 4 skeins of cashmere merino yarn. In crocheting as opposed to knitting, it's easy enough to pull out stitches and begin anew when there are slip-ups (the perfectionist in me loves this!)
I gave the finished scarf to Ron's mom this past weekend for her birthday. It made me happy to see her trying it on, and the sangria color looked great on her (good call on the color, Ron!)
A shell-stitch makes a lovely finished product. I remember making a shawl with the same stitch and surprisingly it is a lot easier then it looks.
