Infinity Scarves

We have been making Infinity Scarves most of this winter. 
This item is a favorite of many of our customers.



One of my cousins asked us to make a couple Infinity Scarves for her. 
She picked out the yarn and we created it. 
This scarf is made using Berroco Boboli Yarn.
This yarn is a mix of wool, acrylic and viscose.



Here is the other scarf she ordered.
This scarf is made using Plymouth Yarn - Kudo.
This yarn is a mix of cotton, rayon and silk.



The next two Infinity Scarves are made with Vanna's Choice - an acrylic based yarn. 
The color of this yarn is called oatmeal.



This color of this yarn is called Grey Marble.

As you can see the Infinity Scarf is a very versatile item. You can wear it long or up close to your neck for warmth. 

It sounds like we are going into the deep freeze again this week so please try to stay warm.

Flower Headbands

I met a good friend for dinner on a Friday evening. As we were talking she said "I bet you could make a headband like the one my mother gave me." I immediately pulled my phone out and said I have made similar headbands. She asked for three. Here's what I came up with for her.



This headband is made using Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in Grey Marble. It's accented with black yarn on the top and bottom. The flower I started out with a black base and layered the grey marble yarn the top. I sewed a vintage button on this one.



This headband was made using Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn in soft taupe. I used a variegated tan and white yarn around the top and bottom and also used the same yarn to make the flower. I used another vintage button for the middle of the flower.



The black headband didn't photograph as well - but I used Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in black. I accented the headband with a variegated black and white yarn and used the same yarn for the flower. I used a flower button on this headband. I do believe it was from one of my shirts that got old so I rescued the buttons.
