Many years ago on a lucky day in the middle of a meadow, I was gifted alpaca roving yarn.

This was before roving yarn had hit its big craze, so I had never seen anything like it.  

Luckily for older me, younger me had no idea what to do with it, so I safely tucked it away and waited for the day it would speak to me.  That day came.

I've made a hooded scarf a time before, and have one that my mother was kind enough to make for me when I was but a wee bit of a thing.  Two is certainly not enough when you meet the majesty that they entail. 

After finishing up a big ol' rectangle, and stitching it up the back (because yes the hood part is just that easy), I set out to turn some handspun alpaca yarn into the scarf.  

This alpaca for the scarf, by the way, was so soft that I would knit on this scarf just to relieve stress; it's so magical that it only makes sense that it would be part of a glorious hood to join me on many adventures.

My only qualm was that when I finished it, it was a tad short and it didn't look quite right for what I wanted.  

Fringe was the answer.  

With everything knitted and ready, I stitched the two magical beings together to form one wondrous creation.

Because of how bulky the roving yarn is, it naturally rolled a bit, and I decided to roll with it.  I left the edges unattached to the scarf, and proceeded to proudly start wearing it.

And just so you know- I've been collecting a myriad of fun and interesting new things to share with you, and have been getting quite distracted.  Meaning there are more fun and different things coming soon, and in the meantime-

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
