My friend chose the colors for this one. I was a bit hesitant to work with two dark colors instead of a dark/light combo (didn't think there'd be enough contrast) but it turned out ok. I'm finishing up another scarf with similar colors (dark green and black) and the colors look pretty well together there, too. Who knows, maybe I'll do this more often

I really appreciate the evenness of the stitch you've used here... especially given that I haven't gotten up the nerve to do much crochet yet! The color combination is a lot of fun - strong contrast without being a light/dark contrast. And the fringe is done so neatly, there's something I have yet to learn (usually I just cheat with a stripe of furry yarn at the edge, my fringe attempts have been extremely time consuming and not so even).

Thanks for the comment!
I've heard that crochet is easier to learn than knitting. (But I also think maintaining a constant tension in crochet is harder.. but that could just be me
