The lazy girl scarf....
If you know me, then you know that I am the worlds least patient person. So of course I had to figure a way to cut out a bunch of steps in making the previously blogged scarf. If you have read lately then you would know that I have been in a frenzy of batt making since my hubby bought me a drum carder. I felted flat panels just beyond a prefelt stage, but not completely to a hard felt stage. Well I now have a huge pile of felt panels that I really had no firm plans for..... So..... I used a rotary cutter and cut these panels into 3 1/2 inch strips of felt. I then sewed them end to end to create a long (approx. 60 inch) strip. I did this to two blue panels I had made. Next I sewed both of those strips down the middle. Then I cut a fringe on both sides of the sewed strips. Finally I re-wet and soaped them, concentrating on felting the fringe. No joke it took about 10 minutes total.....and this is the adorable (if I do say so myself) scarf- and it's long enough to wrap and have nice long tails!!!

Adorable - and I would have been so tempted to join the ends into a mobius scarf because that sure would make a nice fuzzy doubled up collar (probably not in Florida but I just did this a.m.'s farmers' market in 40 degree weather).
