January Project

Ok, this is my January project.  There is a story behind this scarf, a lady I met at the bowling alley

was talking to me about my crocheting.  She mentioned that she loved the Oakland Raiders football team, and that she wanted a scarf in their colors, so, I decided I would make her one as a Christmas gift.

I went shopping for yarns, and came across some black and silver yarn with sparkles in it.  It was around Christmas time, so, go figure :-)  Anyway, I didn't have a pattern to follow, and I just started crocheting, and came up with this design.  The funny part of this story was that my mother, decided she like it and wanted one too...then, my daughter saw it and she wanted it too.  LOL!

Well, when I went to the bowling alley to deliever the scarf to my friend, it just so happened that she wasn't there that night, and another lady I bowl with saw the scarf and wanted to buy it from me for her daughter as a Christmas gift.  So, in the long run, I ended up creating 4 scarves like the one pictured here.  I haven't written down the pattern, but, it's fairly easy, and I may create a few more in different team colors for other "fans" out there!
