August 2010 CAL: Tunisian Scarf
Yep, I know I’m super late on the August 2010 CAL project. The month is more than half over and I hadn’t even decided on a project until yesterday. It’s been a lazy blogging month. What can I say?
Well, I’ve gotten as far as deciding to do a Tunisian crochet scarf and had settled on Obtuse last night… only to start it and discover that I wasn’t very happy with that decision. The pattern is a little confusing and not quite what I hoped it would be. But I have been wanting to design a Tunisian scarf so I’ve finally been adequately inspired to get on that. If anyone is CALing with me (anyone?) I’ll be happy to help you with Obtuse if you choose to try it OR I’ll let you in on the design process of my pattern-in-the-making and walk you through it as I go. Just email me or leave a comment if you’re interested. I’m planning to sell the pattern eventually so you’d be getting a free pattern and free help! The catch being that you might get pieces of a pattern at a time with possible errors (that I’d correct as soon as they are found, of course.) But, I would send you a nice PDF copy of the pattern when it’s finished.
I anticipate getting started on it right away (tonight) and finishing it sometime within the next 2 weeks or so. So far I know that it will be designed with bulky yarn and an M hook. You won’t need a special Tunisian hook for this, just a hook that has a fairly straight handle. I’m using this one… and this yarn:
