Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Well, I've gotten into the beading a lot sooner than I thought I would.  I didn't realize that the moon's center was all beads.  The beads are rather crowded there.  I think they should look fine throughout the rest of the pattern. 

I worked on a crochet scarf from a book I got from the library, The Best of Interweave Crochet.




The pattern I'm working on is from page 28.  Its called the Alpine Frost Scarf.  Its really a simple pattern of a one row repeat.  I'm using a skein of Loops & Threads Woolike in the color ivory.  I had bought this skein several years ago to use in another project that obviously never got made.  I really like this yarn it feels very soft and cottony.  It is an acrylic/nylon blend.   I know Michael's still carries it. 

My progress thus far.

I was originally planning on making this for myself.  But, I've been thinking that I could give it to my mother for Christmas.  We'll see.
