Miss Felicity's New Gift








My Husbands Aunt came out to visit the family here in California from New York. So I decided to make a scarf to give her. She is such a sweet (feisty), little woman, I love her as is she was my own auntie. So I found a pattern on Ravelry that I liked and then went shopping in the Closet Yarn Shop for yarn. I settled for Louisa Harding's Kimono Angora. The Pattern was CROCHARGOSY by Christie Pruitt. Loved the pattern after I got the hang of it. I had to have it finished by or before Saturday. By Friday I was just a bit over half way finished, I finished it about 2:25 AM Saturday, blocked it and went to bed. That is maybe the only reason I crochet now-days Because it is so quick! If I need something in a few days I crochet it. Other wise give me the knitting needles. She Likes the scarf.

  1. What a wonderful gift! And, no wonder I loved that yarn so much...it's angora! I thought it was sooo pretty when I saw it. But, when I touched it...oooooh! Even prettier! It was great for this project. It really made it look like a high-end, artsy kind of scarf. The colors and soft look and feel are totally yummy! :-)

  2. Thanks ladies. She likes it too. But then I have also knit her acrylic scarves and she liked them too. She is just sweet. Yes ATO. I like this yarn and have another ball so I still have some at the local Closet Yarn Shop. It did shed a bit. I had it all over the black clothes that I wore on Friday.
