Hello All, Below you will find the notes from our chat tonight.
I hope you have as much fun with them as I have.

Thank you for joining me.  Please feel free to ask any questions 
you might
have.  It was pretty hard to put the instructions into words so I 
hope they
make sense.

Crochet chain Pom Poms
Make length of chain as follows.
For a small pom pom chain 140 and put hook through every 7th 
chain.  For
medium, chain 245 and put hook through every 7th chain.  For 
large, chain
450 and put hook through every 10th chain.  Cut the yarn, yo and 
pull
through loop on hook to fasten off.

Thread a yarn needle.  (you can just leave the yarn attached to 
the ball)
Put the needle through the first chain and every 7th chain back 
to the end.
Basically, you will be gathering the entire  length of chain onto 
the
needle.  Pull the yarn through all the stitches.  Pull tight and 
tie.  cut
yarn from the ball and fluff the pom pom.

Curly fringe

Attach yarn to the short edge of the scarf with a slip stitch.
Chain 15.  Do 3 sc in second chain from hook and in each chain 
back to the
edge of the scarf.  Slip stitch in about 3 or 4 stitches along 
the edge of
the scarf.  Chain 15 again to make the next spiral.  3 sc in 
second chain
from hook and in each chain back to the scarf  as before.  
continue this
pattern until you reach the end of the scarf.  Repeat on opposite 
edge.

The number of slip stitches between the spirals can be adjusted 
so the
spirals are evenly spaced along the scarf.

For added interest you can vary the length of the spirals by
simply making the chain longer.     For example,  ch 15, ch 25,
ch 35, ch 25, ch 15 pattern.  Use your imagination and have fun!

How to make 3 strands of yarn held together as one from just one 
ball of
yarn.
Fold back a section of yarn so you have 2 strands laying next to 
each other.
Now, fold back this 2 strand section so you have 3 strands laying 
next to
each other.  tie your slip knot at the end where the tail is.  
Make your
slip knot holding all 3 strands together.  proceed with your 
project as
usual.  When you get to the end of the 3 strand section, reach 
through the
loop and grasp the single strand.  pull that strand through the 
loop about
an arms length or what ever you are comfortable with.  You will 
now have
another 3 strand section to continue your project.  Continue this 
process to
the end of your project.  I was told there is no problem pulling 
out your
work if necessary.
