in progress last night on my parents' porch |
finished & folded! |
My mom and I went to Oberlin, OH this past weekend to visit my Grandma. When I agreed to go, I said "ONLY IF THERE'S A YARN STORE IN OBERLIN!" This was my first trip back to Oberlin (where my mom grew up) since I learned to knit & crochet; and yes, I still would have gone had they not had a yarn store. Luckily though, Oberlin has a LYS! It's a generations old Furniture & Floor Covering store that the current owners brought yarn into. The front half of the store is FULL of yarn & notions & stuffs, and the back half is floor covers, etc. Pretty awesome! I got some Sidar Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK weight yarn in light blue, turquoise, and bright peach. It's 80% bamboo & 20% wool and SUPER SOFT. Sure it's "baby" yarn, but I fell in love with its texture and the colors, so whatever! It was my first time crocheting with bamboo yarn, too. I loved every step of this scarf.
It took me a while to figure out exactly what to do with it, but I knew I wanted a springy, open weave scarf. I finally remembered a pattern I had seen on the CRAFT blog for a Window Pane Scarf. Perfection. I used my H/8 hook for this guy. I plan on wearing this one with my dress for the rehearsal dinner on Friday.
And last but not least, mom and I visited our favorite Indy LYS last night. We got some yarn for family members for some super secret projects. But I love the yarn so much, I have to share it!
Your projects turned out great! I just love the colors. Can't wait to see what you're working on next. =)
