Pinterest Success!

Hi!
So today I wanted to blog about a recent project that I completed.  I found it on pinterest, and was seriously excited about doing it.  The original idea came from here: Knitting Loom Infinity Scarf
Her directions were great, and pictures were nice, but I am more of a "if I see it, I can do it" kind of girl, so I hunted for a youtube video and found one that was perfect for me. Found here: Knitting Loom Infinity Scarf VIDEO! 

These directions were spot on for me, and once I had my "equipment" to start, I was ready to go!  I really wanted to finish the scarf while it was cold enough to wear,  so I had to get a jump on it.  Also, I live in NC, and honestly the weather changes in the blink of an eye.  Like last week it was in the 20s and 30s, and then the weekend was in the 70s!

Anyway, I did not remember to take a picture of the "equipment" but the first link will show you that.  I bought my yarn from a Walmart, and got two skeins as stated, I do recommend that you make sure its soft and comfortable for you.  My yarn was made for babies, so it is incredibly soft :)  I absolutely love the color of it!  Here are a few pictures to show you of my progress!

                                                                                          
 
Viola! All finished!


This is the length of the scarf doubled (about 3 feet, so 6 feet total)!

This scarf was a little longer than I expected, but it works great for me.  I wanted something that would be warm and lie flat while wearing.  I have gotten tons of compliments on it, and am very happy with the results.  I have plans of making a coral colored one very soon!
