Magic Stripes Scarf

Well, I finished my first scarf two days ago. I made it with 2 skeins of Lion Brand Magic Stripes Fun Fur yarn. I learned from this easy scarf that I don't enjoy working with the fun fur very much. It is super soft though. It was also great to make something that changes color without all the ends that I have to weave in. I am preparing myself for some nice sweaters.

I am still working on my Winnie the Pooh crochet from the Leisure Arts pamphlet. I am surprise by how large it is. So far I am on my second skein of gold yarn for the body. I am also on my 2nd bag of polyfill. Pooh should end up about 18 inches big. I am working the body and it sure does give me a sense of accomplishment to make something like this. However, the instructions are awful. I have had to email Leisure Arts three times already. I would not recommend this pattern to anyone. I have purchased the same animals but in thread crochet so we'll have to see how that goes. See the picture below of Pooh's progess. He has legs and a tummy.
