Desert Wind Scarf CAL: Week #2

How is your scarf going? Did you find the perfect yarn? Let me know. I think cake yarn is so fun to work with. Because you never really know what you are going to get. Sometimes the color changes are quick. And sometimes...the color changes only occur 2 or 3 times in a skein.

To be 100% honest, I haven't started my scarf. I didn't have any yarn in my stash...that I liked for this project. And I never made it to the store this week. But we need some household stuff...so I'll be heading to Walmart today. Wish me luck! 

This week we are working on the decrease of the pattern. So do you understand what I meant last week? About if you are only using 1 skein, you can't work more than half? If you worked all your increases last week, the size your project is right now...will be the widest. Don't forget to tag us on your social media. #TwoCraftyHeartsCALs

About our next CAL. I would really like some input. Do you guys enjoy these shorter CALs? Or would you like a big project next? And what type of project are you thinking? Give me some ideas. 💕

Desert Winds Scarf CAL: Week #1

I was a little  stumped about our next CAL. I didn't know what you guys wanted to make. If I should look for a big project...or something small. Should it be for kids. Maybe something festive.

So I took to Facebook. And overwhelmingly, I got a quick project. Something for Spring. Something that a beginner could make.

After a little digging, I found the Desert Winds Scarf. Guys I'm in love! And we'll have a cute scarf in 2 weeks!

Just grab the pattern. And 1 Caron Cake. Basically, you just need 315 yards of WW yarn. If you don't want to use a cake, you could grab some Red Heart SS, I Love This Yarn, or Mainstays Yarn.  Don't forget your H hook.

I think this would be perfect to wear in Spring. Or around the here...you could probably wear it now. Our weather is all over the place!

So for the first week, we are going to work the increase. It's basically repeating the same 2 rows. For whatever yarn you are going to use, don't go over half of what you have. The other half of the skein will be used to work the decrease. So if you decide you want a larger scarf, you will need more yarn. I can't wait to see what kind of yarn everyone chooses! 💕
