I wanted to make something special for a friend. I had some Bernat Alpaca in my stash. It was enough to make a scarf from one of the Interweave Crochet magazines. I started this scarf and realized I needed another skein to finish it. I only needed to make one more row. So, off to Michael’s I go to get one more skein. I finish the last row and then realized I still needed another skein to finish the edging on the other side. So…back to Michael’s again! All for this dorky scarf. After it was all done, I am looking at it, thinking, this is really, really long. What a dorky scarf!! It is about 8 feet long and I also put an extra row on the ruffle side. I was not paying attention while making it. Oh well, the recipient seems to like it.
Here is the dorky scarf for my dorky friend. 
Here is an upclose picture. The yarn is really soft, but my dd#1 said it was itchy. We don’t care for things around our necks here.
Before I placed it in the box to be mailed, I rolled it up. It lookes like a great big fuzzy flower from the top, but from the side it looked like a great big pile of doo.
At least it is long enough to wrap around the neck several times for warmth.

Oh my! I think it’s adorable-even if it did cause you a lot of trouble!

I happen to like dorky scarves - especially dorky scarves with ruffles. I made one for The Man (minus the ruffles) when I first learned to knit - he still wears it.

A scarf, even a dorky one, made by a friend is always wonderful.
