Fancy Boas

I have a problem with yarn.  I buy too much of it.  There's either a huge sale or I have a coupon so I'm always getting good deals.  Yesterday I took my coupon to JoAnn's.  I needed to buy some specific yarn for an upcoming project and was going to look around a bit.  There was some beautiful pink boa yarn that I decided I had to have.

When I got home I found black boa yarn up in the yarn cave.  My little friends were coming over to hang out so I thought I'd whip them up some fancy scarves.  I spent the afternoon cheering on Team USA and made these super cute boa scarves for my friends.


Not a lot going on which is why I was able to make two in about three and a half hours.  It's knit with garter stitch (knit each row) but I was continually counting stitches to make sure I didn't drop or add any.  The boa texture makes it challenging to see all the stitches.



I'll be making a couple more for the younger girls when I have more time.  As for now, I have one project to finish up today and then a big one to start on for this week.
