I had good intentions of making a scarf from lace weight yarn. I picked out this soft fuzzy yarn to lace with. But instead I turned it into a cover for a pouch and gave it to a friend. I added beads on the tail ends instead of working them in. Makes for good dangles. I then applied it to some complimentary wool fabric. Here are some pics she took of the pouch/purse I made her:

I work in a band uniform manufacturing company that throws out these 6 foot empty cardboard tubes(one of these days I will make a 6 foot roller pillow!! HAH). So I make use of them and have used them for the inside part of small and large roller pillows. I then wrap layers of wool fabric and then finally a dense insulation foam. Then the two cloth covers. Works like a charm! The bobbins I used for making this scarf turned into purse/pouch were the big bobbins you get in the "kit from Hell". I sure could use more of those if I was to make a wider scarf. If you have any you want to get rid of, I have a good home for them ;) Someday I will actually make some scarves for gifts. Intentions are good, but is one of those "round tuits"!
