A new Scarf

I seem to be doing blog hopping these days...you know, you find one site and that person mentions something...and there is a link, so I have to check out the 'link' and then off  I go...into the world of blogging and if  I can remember where it even all started I am lucky...but this site has some pretty cute things...and this scarf was one of them...so I was at JoAnn's fabrics and decided to pick up some pretty green flannel...there is nothing like a soft warm flannel around your neck on these windy chilly days.  Now don't get me wrong, I love knitting scarves and wearing them too, but flannel...so soft and nice.  And this one has a little twist to it that I thought was unique...if you are going to make one be sure to read the directions (which are NOT hard), however she did make one mistake and I didn't catch it...cut two pieces of flannel 60 inches long.  Then cut four inches off both ends of ONE piece of flannel.  On the piece of flannel that you just cut off 4 inches, you are going to add a 3 inch by 20 inch gathered piece of fabric.  Well, hello...when you add three more inches to that one piece and sew on the 4 inches that you cut off, then that leaves the second piece (the back of the scarf) a tad bit short....like 6 inches short...so just use your noodle when following her directions)

Isn't it cute?   And don't you love the little gathered section?  I think these would make lovely gifts...so many different colors to choose from also....so check it out and I bet you too will be spending hours looking through her site and finding all sorts of things you might just want to make.!!
