Chunky Winter Scarves, And......?

Giveaway now closed.

Today I am showing more of my yarn love.

 I am in LOVE with scarves lately.   These were very fun to make and didn't take to long.


I love how chunky they are.  The white one is adult size and the purple pink one is child size. They are both made with Hometown USA yarn from Lion Brand.  They are so warm and cozy!!  The crochet hook used to make them is ridiculously huge!!

 I'm not sure you can tell the scale from this photo.  Take my word for it they are huge.  The adult scarf was made with the blue hook a Q size.  The child's scarf, was made with the the gray hook a size P.  It was kind of hard finding these in the store.  They were kind of tucked away.  I don't think they sale many of them.


The adult scarf turned out so long and I only made it half as big as the pattern said.



This is doubled over.  Don't get me wrong is not TO long.  I wouldn't want to make it the length the directions said though.
 
Do ya' all get tired of me being the model?

Look, I even straitened my hair for you today.  Don't worry I am over it and now it's up in a ponytail again.

I do feel like I need some type of a change though.  I don't know what.

I could cut my hair.  But it is so nice to put it up in a ponytail during the day.

I could change my make up.  I don't want the hassle of that!

I could change up the blog.  A new color or button?  No, again with the hassle, and I am happy with the way it looks now.

What to do?  I  know,  a giveaway!  What kind of a giveaway?  Well, I don't have a sponsored one this week.  So, you are all stuck with me and my limited abilities.

How about this, I will giveaway one of the scarves I made a new scarf that looks like the ones I made.  I will even let you choose between the adult or child size.  You can also choose between the purplish pink color or the speckled white.



What do you need to do to enter?

Just be a follower, and leave me a comment telling me which one you would choose.

This giveaway is because I love you all and am so grateful that you choose to read and follow me.  Because of that, this giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere!
Giveaway will end next Tuesday the 27 at 10:00 P.M.

Giveaway is now closed.  Thank you so much to all who entered!

Thanks for hangin out,

I like the white one!

I want to learn to crochet, do you have a book or a site you'd recommend. My mom tried to teach me long ago, but I couldn't do much more than a string, it's probably been 20 years since I tried though so maybe there is hope:\

Terry said...

You are such a talented gal. I love to see you modeling your own stuff, but chopping off your head? Who does that, lol. Let's see,....I like them both,...selfish or not? Selfish,..adult size please in the speckled white. :) Thanks for doing this awesome giveaway.

Stephanie said...

Wow! Both scarves are so cute! It's so hard to choose which color! I think they both look great! I really can't choose!! (found you through Terry's FB post!!) Hi Terry! :-) I'm your newest follower! Come visit me sometime! :-)

Amy said...

Gorgeous scarves! Do you have a pattern you could share? I'd love to try making one (unless I win the giveaway, but I still might make some for my girls). If I win, I'd have to choose the adult size in the speckled white. :)

I am your newby follower. Love your blog by the way. I wish I could do this, but obviously just not coordinated! I've tried. I love the red scarf, it is so lovely. My best friend use to make me scarfs all the time, but now she has problems with her hands and can no longer do it. You do great work! Glad to meet you.

Fifi said...

oh wow!! these are gorgeous!! I love them both!! I'd pick the pink in the adult size!! No wait, the white...ugh, okay the pink! I have a slight obsession with scarves...and an obsession with yarn! i know, crazy! I wish I knew how to really crochet...I only know how to do straight lines, nothing fancy!! So, with that "nothing fancy" skill I'd only be able to make the worlds longest scarf, lol!


I'm your newest follower as well!
