I was telling a friend about this scarf last night and she was psyched. A handmade scarf? For five dollars? That you can make in 30 minutes? That you can make without sewing or knitting or anything? Tell me. Tell me how.
I did, but then ended up sending her to this lovely link, where Martha breaks down the scarf's construction for us. (I'm still in the clammy/confused state - although I feel loads better! - and didn't want to ruin her $5/30 minute scarf plans.)
Mine's a bit wobbly and free form, but I like it that way. My friend's was a bit more structured and exact, and she liked hers that way. But either way, we agreed: this scarf is a perfect last minute, inexpensive gift. -Brin(If you end up making one, leave us a comment with a link to your scarf. We want to see, too!)

ReplyDeleteHi Brin - I am a new reader from MS. I stumbled onto your bog looking for a recipe for Crockpot Candy. I am loving the great ideas you share on your blog. Anyway, just wanted to know you had a new reader.

ReplyDeleteWow, Brin, I love your scarf. I ran right on over to Martha Stewart yesterday and proceeded to make not one, but three of these scarves and I am not finished!!!! I am making one for so many people that I had wished I could knit for before Christmas, but knew I would not have the time. I made one in just one color and the other two I mixed colors...oh, they look so, so good. I will post pictures on my blog tomorrow so you can see. Thank you, thank you! Merry Christmas.

I can always count on you to bring neat ideas to life on the cheap too! Love it! So glad your feeling better, just in time too!
ReplyDeleteI have the Martha special magazine (Homemade Holidays) that featured this scarf. I wanted to try it, but it sounded like one of things that sounds easier than it is to make. Also, I wasn't sure which kind and how much yarn to buy. The magazine also included instructions on making homemade marshmallows, which I tried, and blogged about. Come on over to check it out, if you have an extra minute...
