Sing a Rainbow

Red and yellow and pink and green
purple and orange and bluuuuue.
I can sing a rainbow, 
sing a rainbow, 
sing a rainbow too.
Listen with your eyes.
Listen with your eyes,
and sing everything you see.
Sing a rainbow.
Sing a rainbow.
Sing along with me.

The photos don't do this scarf justice. I admire artists who sell yarn crafts and make their photos look awesome. My 22 gallon bucket of yarn was the inspiration for this over 6' long 80 different colors scarf. No yarn was purchased to complete this project. There are some Charlie Brown parts where I used thinner yarn, but those hopefully won't be noticeable when I wear it. This was a fun project, until I got to the part when I had to weave in all the loose ends.  The tassels might be my favorite part. And I know its fantastic because my sister already wants to borrow it!

Afghan Scarf


Meet my new scarf! I suppose if I am going to introduce you I should give it a name. It is only the polite thing to do. I'll start over. Meet Miss Agatha! She looks like an Agatha don't you think?


This has been my project this week. It definitely took longer than I anticipated. It is so soft, and plush, and warm. And maybe just a tad heavy. I doubled up the strands of yarn and tried a new stitch called "Pineapple." Each bobble consists of 16 strands! It didn't turn out anything like the picture showed, but I love the result! Because of the thickness it is a bit like a portable afghan. Perfect!


It measures 100"x12"


Now if I only had somewhere cold to wear it! North Pole here I come!
