My son has been wanting to take naps in my lap lately, so I decided to start a small knitting project that I could work on while he sleeps. I found a cute scarf pattern with ruffled edges in One-Skein Wonders, a great book of projects that use single balls of yarn. (I’ll write more about the book later - I really like it.)

I made the scarf pretty much as the pattern described, but substituted Blue Sky Alpacas organic cotton yarn for the one in the example, and measured the length by trying it on periodically until it was a length I liked (rather than trying to make it exactly the length recommended).

I had about half a skein left once I was finished, so I crocheted some flowers and sewed them on to the scarf. I think it turned out to be a really pretty scarf! It was nice before I added the flowers too, which made me think making the flowers into little brooches by attaching them to safety pins or other pin backs would make it easy to dress up scarves whenever I want to. They might also be a cute addition to my etsy store….
