When I was home at Christmas, my mom asked me to make a scarf for her cousin Cass. Cass is a very nice lady who comes bearing gifts of homemade potica (this is an example) for the humans and homemade dog biscuits for Lucy.
Mom really didn't give me very many guidelines, except that Cass' dress coat is burgandy and she probably wouldn't want anything "fancy", which I took to mean no lace. So I looked at a lot of scarf patterns on Ravelry and decided to make this scrunchable scarf. I used Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica (I think). Mine had a lot more thick-thin variation than most of those pictured on Ravelry, so I may be incorrect.
The scarf could not be easier to make. And I really like the way it turned out! Apparently Cass did too, according to my mom.
Mom told Cass that she "commissioned" me to make this. As I understand it, to commission someone for something implies paying for their materials and time. I was paid in potica and dog biscuits for Lucy. That's even better than money!

Pretty!
Love the color!! Potica and dog biscuits are quite yummy forms of payment.
All I have to say is you're lucky I'm reading this at work. If Sissy ever learns that she could hock MY wares for biscuits, it would be all over...
Great scarf!
