Rainy Day .....

Melenascarf-full

It's raining. So I got to thinking about my Rainy Day Scarf, which I put the pattern for on my blog one spring when it had rained something like 26 days straight, in May or June or something. I never knew it would take off like it did, and get popular.


I actually designed and knit the Rainy Day scarf in an airplane, flying back and forth from a TNNA yarn show. It was a fun way to focus my mind and shut out the dull roar of the airplane engines.

So today, it being rainy and all, I thought I would look at my Rainy Day Scarf again. 

I found 127 photos of my scarf on Flickr.... so fascinating to be able to see it in so many different yarns and colors!

In Ravelry, there are 264 Rainy Day Scarf projects, 20 blog posts about it, 33 forum posts, and after 151 ratings, it gets four stars out of 5!!! Wow, I am overcome :)
