I bought a new jacket a few weeks ago and deemed it a light winter coat. Well, screw it. It's really cold still, but it's too cute not to wear. My last cutest coat was a dark grey, and accordingly none of my scarves matched this new Kermit-green (with Miss Piggy pink lining--colors deemed by my boyfriend).

And the bug really got up my butt today so I made a scarf with the yarn I'm using for a hopeful afghan in my future. I've got about 25 granny squares so far, and because they're small they keep my interest well, but we'll see how it goes since I need about 245 left to make.

Anyway, here's the jacket with the scarf...


Artificial lighting doesn't do the jacket or scarf colors justice, but the yarn was entirely Red Heart, so I'm sure most of you can recognize them.





The second picture has the best representing colors. Same lighting; odd how that works.

A simple half-double-crochet, took maybe two hours, and it wraps around my neck twice. My aunt and I have a yarn shopping date tomorrow too, so now I've got to hunt down some good expensive yarn projects.
