Scarf, Shawl, or Blanket?

I have been working on this scarf, shawl or  blanket for several weeks. I bought the yarn with the intention of crochet a blanket. I thought I had enough yarn.

It is simply gorgeous yarn and is simply calling out for a blanket. Similar to pink stripe one.  I love this blanket it was fun and easy to crochet.

So I started.

It looks gorgeous. Then I hit a point where it was a bit too long for a scarf, and bit too narrow for a blanket and too much for a shawl! I just hit the long boring bit in the middle and I ran out of yarn! Scarf, shawl or blanket, it just kept gnawing at me that I had made a huge mistake in starting this as a blanket.

There just doesn’t seem to be enough yarn. It keeps eating up the yarn. I am thinking about frogging the whole thing back to the beginning and starting over. At this point the blanket is about 36 inches wide. It has used up 12 skeins of this yarn.  Frogging this is a bit difficult as the fibers seem to mat together and make knots.

What would you do? I have put it away for awhile. I really need to think this through. It has become incredibly expensive. It is too long for a scarf or shawl and too narrow for a blanket.

Talk to you later,
