Flowered Scarf

Many of you don't know this, but last September, my sweetheart, Cornelius, lost his younger brother in a car accident.  There is going to be a benefit in his name coming up shortly, and I had wanted to make something that could be auctioned off for this event.  So, I came up with this crocheted scarf in a beautiful turquoise color, embellished with flowers at either end.  To complete the scarf, I added some fun fringe at the bottom.  I absolutely love this scarf, and I'm so excited that it's going to a good cause!

    1. Thank you very much for your suggestion! I will definitely be trying to take additional detail photos for my future projects, unfortunately, as I mentioned in this post, I have already donated this scarf, and I will not be able to get a more detailed picture of this particular project.
