Butterfly In Spring scarf

The weather was SO HOT this weekend, too hot to actually go outside...which to me is really hot, since I love being outside in the heat.  The air conditioner couldn't keep up either, and even with everything closed and the blinds down it was still sticky and hot inside.  


On the plus side, I did get to finish a couple scarves.

I had 2 skeins of  Loops and Threads - Snuggly Wuggly and not really any idea what to do with them. Actually, I'm really not sure why I purchased them in the first place...maybe for headbands...hrmmm... anyways..

The scarves measure 80" long each and 2.5" wide
(74" + 6" (3" fringe on each side))

Each scarf is 1.4 oz, so I could make 3 from each skein, which is pretty good, but I'll probably make some other scarf now.

5 oz / 141g / 446 yards / 408 meter skein
