fibers on friday ~ scarf

I am working on a scarf to go with the hat I knitted up last week.  After the scarf some fingerless mitts to match might be cast on; since there is about 2,500 yards of this unknown fiber in my basket to use up.  If I had to guess what the fiber is I would say it is an acrylic. 


I still haven't picked up the scrubbie that was started a couple weeks ago. I am just not interested in the feel of it.  Perhaps a deal with myself will motivate me.  When it is finished I will get some silk to work with.  No, not going to work today.  The guilt of not finishing it off will hit me one day, but I am not there yet.

  2. Your quilt looks so nice!...it even matches your fibers on Friday icon!

    There are many charities that accept yarn. I think you should donate it, rather than torture yourself. :)

  3. Thanks Annalia! It does match Beth's button. LOL I didn't realize it until you said it.

    I am looking for a charity that wants half finished projects. DO you know of any? I have several I would donate :)

    Thanks for linking up! I don't blame you for not wanting to work with the scratchy stuff :-) The scarf looks super soft and fluffy.

  5. You could steal my cool idea for extra unwanted yarn. I was going to make a bunch of quick scarves and tie them around lamp posts with tags on the scarves that say, "free for the chilly" or just plain donate them to a homeless shelter.
