[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom-knit patterns with Jiffy bulky

[Barb Roland]

The Magic Scarf actually needs to be about 65 in. long.
Using one strand is not going to make it thick enough to keep the cold out 
in my opinion and I'm not so sure using two strands will really make it much 
warmer.
Hang a sec, let me try something, be right back.

Ok, just put the Magic Scarf on as a hooded scarf and went outside, it's a 
bit chilly, and yes it did keep the chill back, but if the wind is blowing 
I'm not so sure it would. If you leave it as a tube scarf and wrap around 
your neck or pull it open and over your head to wear as a cowl, it would 
keep the chill off your neck.

Until it gets colder, sounds like next week will be, I'll try it out again. 
I still want to do another one using two strands to test and see how much of 
a differents it makes.
