Lame title, I know, but I have three T's for this post: Tutorial, Tags, Thank Yous.
1) Tutorial: Sweater [Vest] > Circle Scarf
(The scarf I'm wearing in my last post.)
This is ridiculously simple and easy (and cheap!) I went to my local dollar store and they have a tiny little rack of unwanted clothing. I was looking through and found a Le Tigre men's sweater vest! Even though it was too big I couldn't pass it up (plus I loved the color and it was only $1!) Trying it on back at my dorm I realized it was massive so I decided what the heck, I'll just cut it up into a circle scarf!

I didn't get around to hemming the scarf due to my lack of thread and needle but I'm satisfied with my simple, cheap, and cozy circle scarf. Ridiculously easy, yeah? :) Here's another picture of the final result:
