Glam up your Scarves and knit hats

I have listed on my ESTY.com site, some very nice crochet scarves, that I have made. I have found that it is easy to glam or glitz them-up so they set out in the crowd. It is easy to do, so why not do something to last year's scarf?


All you need is some tensel yarn from any craft shop, I found my yarn last year from Micheal's in the Christmas yarn section. Actually it was on an end cap facing the main isle. It came in gold, silver, red and blue, I brought up several skeins of silver and blue.

You will need a yarn needle and a skein of what ever color you think is your "color" or goes with your scarf. I threaded the yarn needle with the sparkly yarn and weaved the yarn through the loops of the stitches, making sure the yarn was not pulled to tight. Remember you want the yarn to go with the scarf (meaning when you wrap the scarf around your neck the tinsel yarn will not snap or at the very least choke yourself) or be scratchy on your neck, you need to think about this. If you wear turtle necks or a high collar coat then UR ok.

See my pic's of what I did to my scarves.

I need to get my husband to take some pic's of me wearing the scarves, Will do that today. I know you have a very good imagation but I don't think even I can do that well, I need pic's.

Here are the pic's he took, I like them, he takes a good picture.
