Well, I was in my dorm room at school when my friend from home called me up and asked me what my favorite scent was. I told her (it happens to be that super-nice fresh Christmas tree smell) and asked why.
'Oh! I'm shopping for your Christmas gifts!' she said.
There was no way, then, that I wouldn't knit her something in return. Plus she has a great track record of actually wearing the things I knit her. So when I got home I dug around my yarn stash and found a ball of this unknown homespun-looking yarn that I had salvaged from a half-knit sweater I got in a bag of odds-and-ends knitting supplies.
I decided then to half-double crochet it into a scarf and see how it would turn out. Now, I always have a hard time wearing infinity scarfs - I just don't like the way they look on me. But my friend can pull anything off, and the very texture-y uniqueness of it would definitely suit her. I sewed the two ends together (I think I'm actually getting better at sewing knit items!) and it resulted in the photos below.
Stupidly, I forgot to bring it to her the first time I saw her, and she's always so hard to track down. Even still, I can't wait to give it to her. Especially since she goes to school up in Vermont and will probably need it.
