Crochet Scarf of many colours....

Several posts back I blogged about using up a child's crochet kit and making 18 squares but then did not know what to do with them! I was given several really good ideas and I even blogged about it here where I am an invited author.

The idea that really inspired me was from Inkberryblue who suggested a scarf with a picot edging. I could do with a scarf that looks a little different but what really interested me was the picot edging bit. My first thought was 'what is it and how do I crochet it?' My only crochet book showed me what it looked like but not to actually do it. So I googled the stitch name and found a video tutorial on how to create picot stitch.

I think you can just see it in the picture above. I decided to use black to show up the colours, a bit like stained glass window lead holding all of the coloured glass together.

Well I'm hooked (sorry, no pun intended!).

It is has not turned out too badly and in the process of making this I have learnt two new stitches along the way. A work colleague has just had a baby boy and I am thinking of making a crochet pram blanket for the Autumn/Winter in blues. What do you think?
I have really enjoyed making this and I will certainly be making some more use of crochet. Another bag I think with similar colours to the scarf maybe.

I went into school today with Sophie and did some more tidying etc and due to building work I have had to take some home but I will not be allowed in school itself, so my break has officially begun today! So much more of the above over the next few weeks so do keep coming back as I hope to post regularly with finished items.
