Fiery Fall Scarf





As the seasons change, I try to change my yarn colors displayed throughout my house.  During autumn I say good-bye to my aquas and hello to oranges, reds, browns and gray blues.  As part of my seasonal decor there are usually fall colored scarves hanging by my door.   Last week (I'm starting a bit late) I hung up one of the first scarves I ever made 12 plus years ago.  A few minutes later I heard my daughter scream "what is that?!"  Apparently my scarf has a creature like appearance, who knew?

Here is an oldie but goodie, a combination of warmth and vibrant color, all the while being versatile enough to be both dressy and casual.
