as small as a world and as large as alone

This is a scarf I made for a case manager who’s leaving. Entirely my own design, designed to mimic moss, lichen, and fungus in the redwoods. Our first conversation involved a lot of talking about the redwoods, since the biggest item on her bucket list had been to see them, so she took a long trip through the California redwoods. And I think she can pull off wearing a long, thin scarf much better than I can.

It’s a mix of this weird multicolored mossy-looking crimpy wavy yarn, and yarn that’s more like a ribbon than yarn and usually used to make obnoxious looking ruffle scarves which are even less exciting to make than to look at. But I found a different use for that second yarn and I think I’ll use it this way from now on, because people send me a lot of it and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna make twenty ruffle scarves in a row.
