Last year, Donyale<\/a> spun me up this lovely yarn for my birthday. It’s lovely, squishable and soft, 100% Optim. I believe the colourway was officially “Fleece Navidad”.

\nBut as I wound it up, it reminded me of Fruit Tingles. I think these might be an Australian thing, they’re kind of like Lifesavers, without the hole.

\nThey’re a favourite around here, but you can’t see them in the packet. Here they are, with the yarn partially knit.

\nSee what I mean? So the scarf was dubbed the “Fruit Tingles” scarf. I’d had the yarn for a while, and I knew I wanted it to be a scarf. When I saw the Scrunchable Scarf<\/a> on Ann’s blog<\/a>, I knew that it was the one I wanted to knit.
\nI had it in the car as my wait knitting, or long drive knitting. The knitting you always have on hand, at any rate. It still took me more than 3 months to knit, as there was a lot more yardage than I’d bargained for! I do wish I’d made it a little wider now, but I’m still happy with it – and it’s unbelievably soft!

\nSpecs:
\nYarn: handspun expecially for me, by Donni!
\nNeedles: 5.5mm. I could have gone down to a smaller needle, and the scarf would have been a little denser.
\nPattern: Scrunchable Scarf. Super easy! I can see this one being repeated.
\nNo mods, just cast on and knit the same row over and over until I ran out of yarn. The scarf is super long, and sooooft.
\n

\nI blocked it yesterday, and so it’s finished – just in tine for this years birthday, tomorrow! It’s like a gift that gives, two years in a row \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
