Scarf of alpaca and vintage elements

When I started this project last night,

I didn't know what I'd end up with.

All I knew was that I was tired of hexagons
after making them during a 5-hour car ride.

I pulled out a ball of thrifted alpaca yarn,

a crochet hook and a book of patterns.

I didn't like the first few I tried but

the third was the charm so I kept

hooking a scarf until I was out of yarn.

Being a bit on the short side I knew

it needed something else and started

digging through my stash of vintage

buttons and thread crochet doilies

I absolutely love how it turned out

and will be doing more stash-busting projects

like it in the near future.

(P.S. My pattern books has directions

for making ring crochet like in this

vintage piece. Can't wait to try that too.)
