Larger projects languish, but there's always time for a quick scarf. Daughter #3 requested one in black -- not a favorite color for tired eyes. Crochet to the rescue though. Just one evening of TV watching and it was done. Pattern is from S&B The Happy Hooker -- One Skein Scarf. Although the yarn I used (Elann Peruvian Highland) should have been roughly the same weight as the pattern called for (Patons Classic Merino), I had to add many more chains to the length and two extra rows to the width to get a scarf approximately the same dimensions as the one in the book. Hard to picture how the yarn used could have been bumped up successfully to the gauge of the book -- I'm wondering if perhaps the pattern should have called for using it doubled? Can't find any errata for this pattern (although there are plenty for the book!) so I guess it will remain a mystery.

That scarf came out really nice. I would have never thought that I would like a black scarf. Excellent!
Thanks, Dani -- I never thought I would want to make one! Luckily, it turned out to be just what she wanted.
