I’ve put Letitia to work again. Too much idle time up there in the studio makes for a dull girl. After some prodding, she agreed to model Obsession Scarf #2 – as only she can, with her enviably slim waist.
I have to give credit to my sister, Meredith, for coining the word obsessed when talking of this scarf. I stole it from her. I am a good big sister, though, and give credit where credit is due. We share this obsession – I think she’s made 6 so far. I’m a little behind but I’m about to start on #3 and I plan on closing the gap.
My afghan is suffering from neglect. It sits right next to my chair in the den, taunting me. Soon, afghan, soon.
Some of you have left comments saying you would love one of these scarves. If you are interested in having me crochet one for you, shoot me an email. We’ll talk.
Have a great Sunday!
Oh, How I love #2. Great color combo. After the Holidays, I’ll give you a shout. My knitting is going ok but, I maybe resorting to crochet. We will see. Not used to the bamboo needles I think. :) Back to dreeded cleaning. Hugs, Liz
Ooooh Claudia, it is a beaut!!! Leticia makes the perfect model, doesn’t she? I’m sure that the afghan will wait for you while you make the scarves, but I can hardly wait to see it finished too! I have a scarf obsession myself.(they cover the turkey neck so well)lol!
Your pictures of the yarn shop were AMAZING! I love the way they display things in there. What a wonderful place to shop. So glad you took us to see it.
I loved the beautiful rainbow at your house. The pot of gold was your dear cottage.
hugs to you.
Hello Claudia,
Love the scarf! Do you sell them?

Claudia, what would like be without our obsessions? Lovely, lovely scarf and I understand you and your sister’s fixation with it. It would also make a lovely casual belt – Letitia’s waist inspired me – certainly not mine! Ann
that’s life, not like.oops
That Letitia just keeps getting lovelier and perhaps skinner by the day. I envy that waist!

Lovely scarf Claudia! I have never seen one with that type of design before. Looks so cute on your model!~Hugs, Patti
You are doing a fabulous job with you scarves. The colors on this one are so beautiful.
Enjoy…
Obsessed is correct. I am on number 7 but had to slow down a bit due to my trip this weekend. However, I bought yarn for several more. I am doing the pattern a little different, I think I read it wrong, but if you doit wrong every time it turns out just fine.
Love you,
Mere
Again, gorgeous colors! I have had my day being obsessed with making a scarf…so I do know how it feels.
I am happy to know you are having so much fun!
Hugs,
Terri
I can understand your obsession with those scarves~ they’re gorgeous! There’s something about the colors of #2 that I love. I think it’s that shade of blue that keeps catching my eye… so beautiful!
Hugs,
Jill
Beautiful scarves, I love the colors too.

Hi Claudia! Your scarf came out beautiful! I love your model too! One way or another, I would love to have my OWN Letitia!.. BUT, this is not the time of year to be thinking about my own wants; so someday, at LEAST after the new year begins, I’ll give that some more thought! (0; Loved reading about the White Barn and got a kick out of her little tree with balls of yarn for ornaments! I may have to make a tree like that for around here! (You can never have too many Christmas trees, can you?) ~tina
Hi Claudia…thanks for the bday wishes:)
Obsession Scarf is the perfect name for this scarf…it’s gorgeous! I haven’t crocheted in years but I could take it up again just seeing this! You need to open an etsy shop girl!
Beautiful color combo!
And I loved reading about
the White Barn ~ what a
very special place!
Happy Monday, Claudia!

Sorry Claudia, my laptop was slow, I am more of a fast type. By now we are friends again ;)
These are so great. I can fully understand the obsession. Did you post a pattern for these? Did I miss that amidst my Xmas crafting madness?
Do you need someone to take one off your hands?
Do mind me asking so many questions?
Have a great week and have fun with number 3 and 4 and…
Wow, Claudia! I love the colors in your scarf! It looks so complicated! And that Yarn barn in the last post is amazing, from the green door to the twisted skeins of saltwater-taffy-colored yarn draped over the racks. Dp you think they get a lot of people who come in and just stare because everything looks so beautiful?
Claudia, this is gorgeous. It would make anyone feel very special.
I’ve missed you on Pink Saturday. Come back and play with us. Our theme this week is favorite holiday movies.
love the scarf, it’s quite beautiful! thank you for your kind sweet words on my last post!
shhhhh… don’t tell I’m up to 8 now. Stocking stuffer for all the gals almost done. Still not tired of this pattern. I love watching it come together. Your’s is Fabulous. Each new skein brings us such delight.
Toodle-oo,
Kate
Oh, I love this!
