Thanks, Susie: I switched from crochet to knitting, & the scarf is coming along nicely. I’ve learned a lesson about one of the differences between crochet & knitting – I had no idea crochet could be so thick & firm. And if I ever want to make a different heavier item, I’ll try using another yarn with the fun fur. Happy New Year.

I always use a regular yarn with the fun fir, it stabilizes it and makes it easier to work with. You can use the same color, or a coordinating color.

I’ve started crocheting & then ripped out a scarf in fun fur 3 times this month, hoping to have it finished as a gift for Xmas, but when it’s about 4-5 ” long, its shape changes & gets uneven, & has holes in some places so I have to crochet to bring the pieces together. I’ve made 2 scarves before that went smoothly, & I thought I’d crocheted them, but is it possible I really knot them, & forgot? The older scarves are very loose, & stitches can be seen when stretched, but this crochet job is tighter & heavier. Would it be better to knit it, or try it on a round loom?
