New scarves!!!

And yep, I always have those bags no matter how much sleep I get. The chapped lips are a seasonal bonus. The dry weather doesn't agree with me.


But now I can knit. These are both Red Heart Light & Lofty on size 13 needles (I think?). They're my first two scarves I've knit!






I tried to take a picture of the directions for how to make a fleece boa, but they didn't photograph well. Basically, you take a length of fleece about 2 yards long and 18 inches wide. It should have the most stretch in the 18" direction. Then, sew it up so that there are three long "tubes" running the lengh. I sewed two at first, and then folded the last over to cover that seam. So, basically there's a long seam running up the middle and the fabric is divided into thirds lenghtwise. Then, you cut slits on all three edges about every 3/4". Then, take all the loops you cut and turn them around inside out. I hope that makes sense... I'm kinda sleepy. :)
