Still the fringe seemed a bit thin...so don't scrimp! Consider putting 4-6 strands in each bunch of fringe.

Trying that tonight by adding a sequin yarn to the Rasta. Alyssa, you can use a "scarf" loom (the straight kind) to make a mini-scarf rectangle about 4 inches by 8 inches long, then cut and tie the long fringe onto each short end of the rectangle. Same idea! Also works great with crochet, just make a rectangle to start.Shelley Branderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658155641386484843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330678938704270126.post-78885882859509555162011-12-14T15:20:01.839-08:002011-12-14T15:20:01.839-08:00Is there a way to knit this on a loom?

She said she was the one who gave my yarn rep the original idea for the scarf, and offered to let him share it with other stores. Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant idea.

For the record, this line came from the fact that Gina is always saying, "What's the next big thing?" or "I've got the next big thing!" So this line just came to me when I was driving home from meeting with the sales rep who showed me a similar scarf. Hopefully Cathy knows we would never intentionally borrow her line :)Shelley Branderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658155641386484843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330678938704270126.post-85296136084208842792011-12-01T13:01:20.939-08:002011-12-01T13:01:20.939-08:00Just an FYI - "The Neck's Big Thing to Kn...Just an FYI - "The Neck's Big Thing to Knit" is part of the title of Cathy Garron's book "Cowl Girls".
