Yes, my wavering mind keeps coming up with distractions in a desperate attempt that push the backside of that blanket back into oblivion. It succeeded more or less yesterday evening. Row number two is still not done but scarf number three is. I justify all this by telling myself "well it may not be a blanket but it's crochet too". 

Behold:

An ingenious scarf -Japanese pattern of course...- with a collar! So never again will the back of your neck get frostbitten in winter. Above the collar is put up. 

Here it just sits as a flat collar.

It has been crocheted in Malabrigo sock yarn Eggplant color. Boy that is soft yarn. I've used about one skein and a bit (around 125 grams I estimate). It's worked in a 2,5mm crochet hook and the bulk of it is worked in double trebles. 

So now that the first snow has fallen, I can be spotted outdoors with scarf number three.

Off I am to play in the snow cause I can hear row number two of that blanket calling out for me...
