Winter Scarves

Scarves completed! Left is Bob's; right is mine. Bob picked out the yarn on our last trip to Hood River. I like going to the yarn shop 'cause it conjures up images of future yarn projects. (The operative words are "future yarn projects--Bob classifies them as fodder for Doreen's dream designs.) There are some "bread & butter" type yarns, but most of the yarns are like the Merino Wool from Uruguay, exotic. I, especially appreciated the ease of crocheting with this yarn that looks more like thin strips of felt instead of multi-stranded worsted yarn.
