So, I recently went to a Rovaniemi Mittens class taught by Susanna Hansson at Webs. I should really be telling you about that (it was fabulous) and showing pictures of the "wristlet" that I started in class. However, it's not finished and my gauge is so super tight (11 sts/inch instead of the recommended 8-9 sts/in) that I think I'm going to rip it and try again. Anyhow, I'll get back to that sometime. But not now, because currently I am obsessed with making this silly thing.
It's the Alligator Scarf from Morehouse Farm, and it's super cute. I'm making it with some Jaeger Baby Merino DK that I got on sale at Webs. It will be for either Niece#4 or Nephew#4 -- the only family members who are still young enough to actually want to wear an alligator scarf.
Morehouse Farm has a lot of other cute animal scarf patterns on their website. I just noticed they now have a dragon scarf. Oooh, I'm tempted.

way cute. niece #4 and nephew #4 are going to fight over it for sure. :)
That is very stinkin' cute! Love those eyes, and the ridges on the back!
It is looking awesome!
I would absolutely wear one of those. Not a hint, don't worry!
i need a wallygator.
I have made the dragon -- and he was fun!
LOVE it! When it popped up on my browser it took a few seconds to recognize the aligator. Then I burst out laughing. Good thing I was alone (although the cats did give me an odd look). =-D
Look foward to the finished product!
That is beyond cute! And the dragon - I wish I had someone to knit them for!
Too cute! I have the pattern also, but different color yarn. I hope one of my boys (5 and 7) will be willing to wear it this winter.
Cute scarf!!
I knitted the alligator scarf last month (we named him Reggie after the Los Angeles escapee alligator). About halfway through with it, I went back to Morehouse Farm and ordered the skunk and dragon scarf kits, as well as a shawl kit. I'm really looking forward to knitting those.
I'm digitalknitter on Ravelry; you can see a photo of Reggie in my projects.
My aunt made the alligator scarf as a Christmas gift for her five-year-old grand nephew.
I of course was enamored by it...so she made me one; a bit longer, in pink!
I think it’s the best scarf ever, and I’m 32!!!!
now if you put a hand knitted eyeball in the socket it would set i right off. I found the pattern on the net and my scarf if great.
