I finished a scarf in time to wear for the cold weather! It's just a k2p2 rib and is pretty long. I wish I could've made it a little bit wider, but I wasn't sure if I would have enough yarn, and I don't think I would have.
The yarn I used was from Target's Dollar Spot. I used the lilac-ish pink acrylic and purple furry yarn. I had only bought a couple of them for $1, then went back when they were 75% off (yay!) and got more. I didn't know what to do with the furry yarn at all, it never occurred to me to knit it along with another type of yarn. I got the idea from someone on Craftster.org who had used the orange-red furry yarn from target to make a similar scarf. It is SO soft, and really warm too. Warmer than my jacket.

Oh how would love to have been able to get my hands on some of that yarn at the discount price. I looked at it a lot at full price but never bought any...my stash makes me feel guilty.
This is really lovely.
Thank you! I bought a few of the skeins at regular price, I had just started knitting, so I hadn't accumulated a big stash just yet...but that helped start it! Hopefully they carry yarn again someday, most of it was really soft and felt better than most acrylics.
