Granny stripe scarf

I love the feeling of new wool, especially a kind that I've never purchased before. These soft light colours just called out to be a scarf. I hated the initial part of counting out the chain length, but the end justified the means.

I don't consider myself an expert, I know I have a lot to learn, but I also have a lot to give. This is the first time I've ever work a granny technique and I think it turned out pretty well.

I hate the fact that only a minuscule fraction of my generation has the patience or willingness to learn how to knit, or crochet, or sew, or embroider. All of these are dying arts, in one or two generations time there won't be any of us left! It is a purpose of mine to teach as many young people as I can, to inspire an interest. Many people love the end product but don't have the willpower to create it themselves!
For any of you out there in cyberspace who happen to have stumbled upon this page, whether you are a grandmother, mother or someone like me. Try to teach as many people as you can, show them what can be accomplished.

BrightlyBurst, over and out.
