I bought two balls of the most beautiful yarn: shimmery, slubby, ivory with flecks of many colors. I wanted to make something that would show it off, but it is so spectacular that it could easily become gaudy. So, I made a scarf and used this yarn to run through it for effect. Then when I fringed the ends, I fringed with this yarn where it ran through the scarf.
I used simple single and double crochet stitches. Then I had a little green left over so I made Katie a little purse.
