Summer Project Favorite!

Color Sicily, #7766


Color Hyacinth, #7754

I knitted this scarf after seeing the pattern in the Classic Elite pattern booklet, Picnic. I used the suggested yarn Firefly by Classic Elite and loved it. The scarf is self-fringing, meaning you get to drop stitches on purpose at the end!
Just takes 2 balls and the colors are gorgeous.
I have made 3 already and my mother has even made one in a hot pink!
When you find a good thing, you might as well have one in every color. (and I'm making 1 more...!)
