Bust that Stash

I've had these 2 skeins of Poof that were given to me as a gift. It's soft, yummy yarn, but it just would not *be* any of the things I tried to make it into. I'd try different scarf variations with different sized hooks or needles, to no avail. After wrestling with it for a couple of evenings, I would rip it out, wind it back up and toss it back into my stash. It would relentlessly work its way back to the top, waiting for that moment of when I would reach in for an interim project, and..  >>sigh<<

This weekend I decided it was either me or the Poof! Apparently it just wanted me to bring out my P hook and realize that I had other items in my stash that would marry up nicely. With a starting ch150 in Thick & Quick, some random switch outs to the other yarns and a whole bunch of sc later, an eternity scarf was made. It's 9" wide and 84" long before I seamed the ends together. I can cover my ears and still wrap it twice around my neck into a thick cowl and it's snuggy warm. 

There was enough T&Q left over to make a pair of gauntlets to match, which was fun, because I'd never made a pair before and I totally improvised. My favorite touch was slip stitching along the inside of the fingers end, which made them fit snugger around my fingers without making them too tight. The photo makes the T&Q look too olive to really go with the other colors, but in reality, it all blends together nicely. AND 6 skeins of yarn came to a lovely, yet practical end. Who could ask for more than that??
