funky scarf update!

so i have to share. i've decided on my scarf pal's scarf! she said she mostly likes natural fibers. wanted something warm, and fun but also functional. go figure. thats exactly what i woud like. as would most people! so i have picked up several fantastic silk shirts at local thrift stores. i'm going to give them a wash, cut them into strips, tie them end to end and knit the worlds softest luxury rag scarf in history! it will be warrm. but not bulky or heavy. it will have interesting texture and will definately be one f a kind!!! i am sooooo excited. i have to go to one more store tomorrow they are having a 50% off sale so i can pick up a couple more colors and then i will take photos of the process. yippeee. can not wait!
