a cowl scarf

I'm not a really great crocheter and I don't know how to knit, but I had this left over yarn from Halloween and it was so thick and yummy gray. I couldn't pass it up. It was asking to become a scarf. The first time I started crocheting it looked dumb, so I undid it. The second time it was too bunchy. The third time it wasn't the right gauge. So I guess this time it was the fourth time that was the charm. But it ended up going really fast. It helped that I didn't have enough yarn to make a long scarf-so it's more of a cowl. But isn't it cozy? Crocheting is kind of a soothing occupation (for every now and then anyway).

Also, just a friendly reminder that the ABC Animal Poster giveaway is still going on . . . go leave a comment!
