For Christmas, I decided to participate in the world’s largest Secret Santa gift exchange via Reddit. When I got the person who I was going to play secret santa for, it mentioned that she liked violet and orange. So, being a lady who loves to crochet, I found some gorgeous mottled yarn that went from a bright pink to orange to a lovely violet and got to work on a hat and scarf set. Loving a challenge, I also decided to try a new stitch – the yo-yo crochet stitch (typically used for blankets) and see how it would work out for scarves and on hats. I think they turned out pretty neat.

In the end, the gift seemed to be a hit. 🙂
