5 month ruffle scarf {but only if you're lazy like me}

When I'm not whipping projects out in hours, it's taking me months (or years.) I completely crocheted another bag today (a duplicate of Emma's Bag of Horses for Jules so she won't steal said bag from Emma.) Then tonight I finished another project I started sometime last February or March-- can't remember exactly. This was an improvised project I just call a ruffle scarf. I did 75% of it back when I first started and freaking ran out of yarn. I'm terrible about underestimating my needs then making multiple trips for replenishment. Sheesh.

Anyway, I went through a lot of ridiculous crap to replenish this puppy... I used Araucania Patagonia Nature Cotton in #206 and could only get it in Murfreesboro. I had them mail me a skein only to get the wrong color. So I made a random trip down there to exchange it... total hassle. Then after all that, I just put it away.

I saw it in my ridiculous supply stash as I was searching for potential lining fabric for Jules' bag and ended up working on and finally completing it. I totally love this scarf! It needs to get cold so I can wear it!

Patagonia is really luxurious considering it's just plain ole cotton. The colors are incredible-- the photo doesn't accurately show the color (looks too pink.) It's mostly lavender with some rose, red and rust thrown in. The yarn has varied thicknesses also and it gives it a rustic look. The ruffles and colors make it decidedly feminine. I'm way too excited for my own good right now and can't stop manhandling the thing.
