1 hour scarf

It's winter on the prairie.

We've survived the polar vortex.

Even survived a blizzard.

This time of year requires warm gear. Even if you don't have a scarf, you can whip one up in an hour. Seriously. Scouts honor.

You need a small skein of yarn and a J crochet hook.

Chain 10, add 2 turning chain.

Go back across your 10 original with a half double crochet. Continue 10 across until you run out of yarn. I did this watching Ghost Hunters, which is an hour.

Quick, easy and stylish. My kind of craft.

No Italian wedding is complete without a busta bag. In New Jersey, the bridal couple goes from table to table, greeting guests and collecting the cards and money being gifted. I am not fond of the tradition, but…who am I to stop it? And when in Rome…
