I did not use the same thread recommended in the pattern. I love this soft and thick alpaca yarn. I was making this scarf for my mom who walks home from work almost daily and I thought it would be warmer.
The original pattern directions are to join the ends together, but I knew my mom would prefer it as a regular scarf instead of an infinity scarf.
The pattern was simple to understand. She explains things so well. I made this while watching tv at night, most likely the source of my mistakes.
I am so thankful to all the wonderful artists who post their patterns and share them so generously with others. What did we ever do before the internet. I know my pattern list has grown substantially with all the talented bloggers sharing their gifts.
My mom loved the scarf. I hope it helps her think of me whenever she uses it.I will be linking up to the fabulous parties listed here.
Ruth, that is beautiful. My Mom knits but I've never learned how. I just sew :)
