How long did it take you to make that? It looks great! I have knitted and crocheted since I was a kid but I am always so slow knitting.

Re: My scarf made during the blizzard!

Yes, it was home spun yarn.
I crocheted it the Long Way (I made a chain of how long I wanted the scarf to be and then I did half double crochet for 5 rows...I used a fat needle also but I can't say what size, it is not marked).
It took me about 3 hours all together. Very Quick and easy!!! I love this kind of yarn. I also bought a red one so I will try that next!
The scarf would have been better if I did it the short way, so Like Colors would be together, but I dont like the way the edges come out when I turn so I figured the less turns the better

I've done a few crocheted Homespun scarves and hats. It's so soft. DH loves his.

Looks great! I just started crocheting a new blanket. Haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it when I'm done, but I'll post pics if I ever finish!

Very pretty! I made a blanket using that homespun yarn, it started out as a scarf but I kept crocheting and it turned into a blanket, I love it, its very cozy!
