The Long and Short of It

Crochet Short Rows Scarf
Over the holidays I had a custom order for a warm scarf- something beautiful but not too frilly. I used it as an excuse to try out a gorgeous yarn - Universal  Shades in "Campfire".

In the mood for something new, I decided to try some "short rows".  Based on a
free pattern by a very talented crochet designer, Vashti Braha, this technique is used more often in knitting than crochet.
 
I am delighted with how it worked with the yarn's color changes.  I'm thinking of making a few more to put in my etsy shop.

Any suggestions on colors?

Reds and Purples appear to be big this year. I also like the bright green/brown/offwhite I have seen out in stores. I know someone that would love something in bright blues/white/black. You always do such a great job with colors in all your projects. Have fun..
