What's that you say...more scarves?


Sam

Yup..and yup.  A few weeks ago I was browsing in a yarn shop (Mary Maxim) and fell in love with the Prism line of Mary Maxim yarns.  There was a gorgeous scarf hanging off to the side of the display that  had been crocheted using the Prism Rainbow yarn.  Tagged to the bottom of the scarf were these very important words - free scarf pattern with purchase of one ball of Prism.  Hook me up, I said. I'm buying. There are 10 shades in the Prism line and I walked out with one ball. Well, after whipping up the first scarf in no time, I was back at the shop and picked up another 4 balls...and then that followed with another 4 balls.  4+4+1=9...hmmm....I thought  I had purchased one of every colour however 9 is not 10 so I have one more to go. The pattern was created by one of the lovely ladies at the shop so I won't spill her secret. Let me tell you though, for someone who's just getting hooked on this great hobby, that scarf is a fabulous as a first quick and easy project. Have a look....
Count them..9 not 10.
Aren't they gorgeous? Let's face it...it's stinking hot outside so I'm not even sure anyone wants to hear about scarves right now. That little critter you see up above is my Sam.  He was doing all he could to get his paws on everything.  My motto is...you don't help...no yarn for you! Although he did hide another ball somewhere. He's a tricky one that Sam-a-lam.
Now to figure which shade I need to finish off this project. Next project is well under way (see blog background) and then it will be time to start thinking winter and Christmas and everything else between now and then. Ideas are popping around the old noggin like mad. Happy hooking everyone!

  1. They look absolutely yummy. I am also in love with Prism yarn. I am desperately seeking some very particular colours and types of the yarn which is more difficult than I would have thought. I am glad you found what you need. Can't wait to see number 10.
