An infinity scarf, just in time for spring!
I'll be honest. My crafting has seriously been put on the back burner for a while, and although I've completed a couple of projects in the past few months, posting about them was put on the even-further-back-hidden-behind-a-trap-door-which-probably-isn't-safe burner. But I'm getting back on it! And the first project I want to talk about is the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf from Moogly, a blog that regularly features awesome patterns for knit and crochet that are super easy to follow (I've got several patterns from this blog lined up in my queue of projects).
Although the pattern calls for a worsted weight yarn, I had a beautiful super fine yarn (Painted Desert #12 Hedgegrove) that I thought would look great with the lacy pattern for the scarf. Because of the difference in yarn thickness, I had to modify the pattern only by adding extra stitches to the initial length and adding rows to the overall height in order to get an appropriate scarf size.

I finished the scarf a couple of weeks ago and have been happily wearing it since then. It is light enough to comfortably wear on the crisp, sunny days of spring here in the Pacific Northwest, and I love how delicate it looks and feels.
I actually started this scarf during the Craft Night that my sister and I organized. I worked on it on and off for a few weeks after that, even doing a few rows in my tent during my backpacking trip to Twin Lakes and Silliman Pass.
As the name implies, this scarf is incredibly simple to make and wear. With a thicker yarn -- and just a bit more discipline -- I'd be able to crochet another (or several more) quite quickly, so I'm certainly looking forward to using this pattern again.
I made two of these scarfs. Very simple and artfully finished.
