I’ve added a few scarves to my donation bin over the past few evenings. All of the yarn for these scarves was purchased from the thrift shop.

Although I’ve made this pattern before – once with Stacia and Deloise – I can’t say that I enjoyed the process this time. It is a novelty yarn and you knit through holes in the yarn (that’s what gives the ruffle) but the yarn twisted a lot and it was often hard to find the right spot to insert my needle. Since it was a thrift store bargain it may have been re-wound by a previous owner and that resulted in the twist.

This scarf was easy to make and I finished it in one evening. All done with garter stitch, it is the yarn that gives it the texture. It is a copy-cat version of eyelash yarn but it isn’t as soft as the real thing.
