Chain me up! I've started a new project...

Even thought I have a whole host of projects to finish up, last night I cast on a new one inspired by some summer scarves I've seen around the internets, particularly Soft Spoken's Chain Drop Circles Scarf (apparently the brilliant designer Rachel is a former librarian who turned to creation to make $$ after librarianship bored her to tears! love it! --for that connection alone, I should buy one of her creations. In fact, I will. Straight away...maybe one of her gorgeous berets). It's basically going to be a "chain style" scarf, which is made up of tens of crocheted chains that drape like a scarf. Trust me, it sounds weird, but it actually is gush worthy. Like a scarf necklace. Although I can only guess how Soft Spoken's were made, I'm having at it to make one for myself--and if it doesn't work out as I intended, I'll buy one of those. For now, I like a challenge.And I'll be sure to add Soft Spoken's blog to my daily reading pleasure. She is amazing!I began mine with a size H crochet hook and some bronze colored merchantized cotton I've had lying around for more than a year with no plans in mind after I ditched the original project the skeins were procured for--a patchwork cotton knitted afghan that just wasn't working out as I envisioned (hmm...what to do with the swatches already made?). The yarn is from Peru and its absolutely delicious for this project.Holding two skeins together, I just created a foundation chain, slip stitch knotted the chain when I thought it was appropriate length, made note of the number of chains, and duplicated it. So I have one long set of chains. I think I'll have to break them apart in the long run and bind them somehow in the back because it's being a little weird. It might have been better to chain the first one and join it to the start with a slip stitch, then repeat that process, rejoining them all at the same spot...but I kind of think that would have been a big jumbled mess and I might have accidently twisted chains if I wasn't careful. If it turns out o.k., I could tweek it over time?Or just buy one? Eh, I like to see if I can make it myself...
