More Gifts for Friends

Surfing the Internetz give me many ideas for gifts. Shadows in the Nyte has some pretty awesome scarves on her blog. I took the idea of the Yoshi scarf and made my own, mostly for my gamer friend. She recently got a 8-Bit 1-up tattooed on the back of her neck.

I'm rather proud of it... but I have to criticize myself of course, just ways to get a bit better. I slacked on the spikes.. tried two styles and didn't feel like correcting, the tongue is going off at an odd angle. Once I get the kinks worked out I may get around to posting a pattern. 

Materials used: 

Vanna's Choice: Scarlet, Fern, White. 

Carilina Black for the eyes (remnants of another scarf) 

Crochet hooks J and G.
