This scarf and the matching loom hat I made to go with it are not on my to-do list. In fact, I have a number of other craft projects in the works that I promised myself I would finish before I started one more thing. But, I guess because the last scarf I made was so super fast to make, I decided at the spur of the moment two whip up a few more items for a charity drive I’m participating in with the Yahoo Crochet List. I already had a scarf and two hats in my charity stash, which is plenty to donate, but I just had this urge to make more.

Some pluses to doing this is that the loom hat took me only a few days to make (still loving the loom), and this scarf is about one and a half rows just shy of being finished as well. Plus, I am using some yarn from my stash that was kind of orphan yarn. It’s Bernat Softee Baby in a color called “Ocean,” and I don’t have any other skeins in this exact color of blue and don’t see a need to buy more any time soon, so this unplanned project has turned into some stash busting too.
