In a while crocodile. Off to Florida with you. My thank you gift is on it’s way. I figure if Betsy can’t use it, there are plenty of her New York grandchildren who would appreciate it. Mr. Bry at age 18 has already requested one.
The specs: Morehouse Merino Alligator Scarf Kit, doubling the number of scale repeats.
The recap: The scarf done according to pattern would not be a scarf at all in length. They supply an appropriate amount of yarn, but the pattern directions seem skimpy. When I bought it, it was only available as a kit. Now you can order the pattern alone. Knitters have complained that the kit yarn is too firm, bit the scales require that firmness for body. Besides, the colour is perfect.
Additions: Needle felted eyeballs, otherwise the scarf looks like a croc hide with eyeball sockets. I did slitty gator eyes on one side and pink eyeballs en reverse. Started with the pink ones on the main side but decided they look like white olives with pink pimento. Is this as weird as it sounds looks? It was one of the most enjoyable projects I have ever knit.
