Things I do while watching The Closer

Finally trying to make something for myself! With all my random yarn scraps I thought I'd make a bunch of i-cords and braid them together. It's a little mad. Especially the colors.

I got a knitting for the holidays book at the library and after flipping through it two times I was positive I couldn't make one of the projects. Socks and slippers and sweaters?! No way. But they had i-cords as decorations. That I can do.

And pom-poms. I love a pom-pom.

Donna Karan says to keep white next to your face to brighten your skin tone. So I've always been a fan of white scarves.

Puttin' on the scarf



 
I went to IKEA last Wednesday and found a pillow case in the discount bin for $2.50. I loved the gray and white pattern and pictured it as a scarf. (I ALWAYS forget "before" pictures. Imagine a standard pillow case). I cut off the edges and then cut down the center and ended up with 2 long pieces. Which I gathered and stitched together. I also zig-zagged the edges, allowing them to fray but not disintegrate.

I spent about 30 minutes on it and I think it's pretty cool. It may not be for me, I still have to figure out if I like it. My boobs are too big for it to hang properly, so I either have to bind myself or give it to someone as a gift. Kind of a bummer because I finally made an accessory that I actually like. Plus? Donna Karan says to keep white by your face, as in jackets and scarves, because it brightens your complexion. Any little bit helps.
