Muffler

Look, I made a muffler! Isn’t that a great word? Last summer I read The Women by T.C. Boyle, a book about Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life. One scene described them getting ready to go out into the Wisconsin winter. It included wrapping mufflers around their necks. When did we stop using this word?

This muffler is a Christmas gift for a friend.

Yes, I’ve made this several times before. I know this pattern (my so-called scarf) and yarn (Malabrigo) makes a very nice scarf. I’m sometimes reluctant to try something completely new for a gift. It’s kind of like trying out a recipe before you serve it at a party. If you've made it before, you know it's going to be good. (I think I've already said that on this blog.)
