Happy New Year Skull Scarf

Happy New Year my faithful readers! I have a feeling 2011 is going to be a great year. I have so many ideas in this warped brain of mine for some new wicked crochet creations.
I was able to start the year off by completing a new skull scarf. This is made with some great yarn. The light green is hand spun alpaca wool from animals raised right here in Oregon. The variegated color I used for the skulls and fringe is hand painted merino from New Mexico. I just love the bright almost neon colors of this scarf. You will definitely stand out in a crowd while wearing this skully beauty.

Lately I've been sketching my ideas before I actually start the project . Here's the sketch of the skull scarf when it was only a twinkle in my eye.
Yeah....The scarf looks much better.

 Thanks to my lovely daughter for being a good sport and modeling for me. If it wasn't for her my cats would have to model. And I'm sure that wouldn't thrill them in the least.
