Quick Knit
Look what I turned out last night! It's amazing what a little instant gratification can do to lift your spirits.
Inspriration came out of Ms. MisoCrafty by way of Craftster. Yikes, I sound like I'm talking horse heritage. My Kentucky uncle would be so proud.
I used strands of orange Cascade 220 and Fashion Trend Fino striping yarn held together (both of which came out of the Point / Knitty cruise goody bag) to get the Fraggle-worthy colors. The finished product is shown unblocked and will stay that way - I've decided I like the roly poly ends. For a simple rectangle, it's a great way to keep warm under a coat without adding too much extra bulk.
Very very cute quick project idea - yours looks great (love the colors).

And how wonderfully cheerful. I'm so sick and tired of seeing all black coats and accessories. Like winter in itself isn't dreary enough!

Fraggle-worthy indeed! I love it.

Love it! The colors are great! We do need to see some bright color in winter instead of black everywhere!
Oh, the buttons are awesome too!

That is just awesome! I especially love the buttons. I just may have to make one myself.
