A new scarf


The colours are not as dark as this photo shows.
It took just four evenings to crochet and I varied the stitches to make it more interesting.. so it has a twisted double and  twisted treble stitches as well as treble  'V' shapes, single and double in the different rows.
The colours are to go with my new browns, fawns, mustard and cream clothes that I bought as I had dropped a dress size! It has been a struggle to lose those 15pounds and I am carrying on to lose some more!
 If anyone else has struggled to lose weight you will know it is hard work!

Lovely scarf - and I do know how difficult it is to lose weight. I'm in the process now (and Xmas is coming up!) but have lost about 5 lbs and aiming for more. I want to look and feel good when I come to England and Wales next summer.

Lovely scarf Chris. I like the different stitches. I have lost 20ish pounds and have platauxed for the last couple of months. Just won't seem to shift anymore so I will start again properly in January. x
