Crochet Project: Fur Balls

This scarf/cowl has been in the works for over a year.  Twice it was thrown in my to do basket and it was frogged = ripped apart many times.
Fur balls
Leave it to me I can make the simplest projects difficult.  I was determined to make something out of this really funky kinda ugly yarn.  I must have been a tad addled the day I picked it out.  It was too wide, then too narrow, then too crocked…
Fur ball creation
I finished it yesterday…it was 72 degrees out so I had no need for a winter scarf.
fur Ball cowl
It is a cowl now, one I can wear on my head and around my neck.  It is not perfect but close enough that I can live with it. I stuffed it in the old toy box where the overflow winter “stuff” is stored.  I will wear it a few times and if I don’t like it I will donate it.

Done.  Now I can get out some scraps of yarn and start a new crochet project.  Join As You Go Granny Squares…a wonderful way to use up some of my yarn stash.

    Granny Square projects are how use up all my old yard. I was making vests for a charity for awhile. Mostly I crochet in Winter when I'm freezing my butt off.

    I might take up crocheting again this coming fall or winter. I went over to that site and it brought back a lot of memories. Those weird fur balls are kind of odd looking, but you did good with that cowl. :-)

    I had never seen such unusual yarn as that with the fur balls, It is cute though and should look nice as a cowl. Good for you for finishing up this project.

    Kudos for finishing this project. When yarn gives me fits, I usually end up tossing it in the round file.

    I think those fur balls are going to tickle you and make you laugh. Possibly at inappropriate moments! You have a lot of sticktoitiveness.

    Yeah - glad it is finished.... It will be one of those items that you like but if something happens to it you won't be heartbroken :)

    I like it- wish I could see well enough to crochet or knit again. All of my afghans are worn out they are so old.

    I was watching Miss Marple on the PBS series knitting and she was doing the real thing.
