Way back in the time that is known as Let’s see how many projects I can do just before Christmas, I purchased some Stansborough Grey yarn because…well, the idea of it is freakin’ cool. The wool that was used on Lord of the Rings, how cool is THAT? The problem was now I had the yarn but I had no idea what to do with it. I knew it had to be a project that was just for me (a first), but what that was going to be, I hadn’t a clue.

I don’t know about you, but most of my best creative ideas gently caress me in bed around three o’clock in the morning and then sixty seconds later they grip my neural pathways and do a gymnastic floor routine en route to my bladder. Being confronted by both a creative idea and urinary desperation proves too much and I get up to resolve one problem while contemplating the other.

That was the scene when the Diamonds in the Rough scarf pattern came to me. A simple scarf for an understated yarn that would be enhanced by the simple textured pattern of alternating Tunisian stitches.

I’m even more excited that the pattern is available for download! The $4.00 FREE pattern includes both standard written instructions as well as a symbol crochet chart. 

I hope you enjoy crocheting it as much as I did designing it.
