Picture of the Day – Vas and the scarf

In January 2007, I crocheted a blanket for my former father-in-law for his birthday. It was a lovely camouflage green. Fast forward to this past winter. I was spending most of my off-time in my room in the basement of a house, freezing, so I crocheted a lot to keep my fingers moving. I had found a pattern for a curlique scarf, and I thought ‘what a great way to use up the camouflage yarn I had left over.’

Leave it up to Murphy’s Law to dictate that I would run out of yarn when I was on the last row. So I bought more (I knitted the inevitable new leftover yarn into a pillowcase). When my best friend Vas stopped over, I gave it to her. As is my way, I suppose, I forgot to take a photo of the finished product, and Vas sent me the photo shown here. Vas is originally from Puerto Rico, yet she pulls off the Minnesota look so well.
