Supersoft green scarf

So many baby blankets, clothes, and accessories come made in really soft material - chenille, etc. I have a habit of naming such things "supersoft," so V has a supersoft yellow blankie and a pair of supersoft fleecie pants.

So I got a skein of Lion Brand chenille yarn in basil and just did a simple seed stitch that I saw on this video to make V a supersoft green scarf.

It's a hit!

And it was very simple. There are quite a few mistakes in it because I wanted to finish it more than I wanted to have it perfect. I like things that are imperfect (that's the excuse I'm giving anyway).

Next, I plan to try a scarf with cables. I've got some pretty charcoal gray yarn - but this one will be for me.

That's such an awesome skill to have. I've never had the patience for stuff like that.

It's a gorgeous green!

That second picture is so stinkin' CUTE! (really, they both are... but I'm a sucker for non-traditional personality shots). Where'd you get that coat?
