Pom-Pom Faux Mink Scarf – October’s giveaway lucky draw!!!
Yes, I knitted this especially for my first ever giveaway contest which I plan to hold on a monthly basis. This fake mink fur scarf is made of 100% polyester micro fiber and is double layered, soft and warm. For some of you, weather is starting to chill, it will keep you warm, wrap around your neck, your head, cover your ears or just anywhere you want to keep warm. For those staying in the Southern Hemisphere, spring is coming, so this is nice to wrap around if you are wearing a little less for the fluctuating season. And, if you are in the tropical country like me, well, find a cold place to go (altitude and latitude wise) and create the opportunity to use it, or attend a dinner at a chillingly cold restaurant, ice-bar pub etc… This piece of wonderful scarf is a must in every girl’s wardrobe no matter where you stay.
By the way, thanks to those who gave me the name for this yarn… pom-pom, marshmallow or mink fur yarn, etc… I decided to call this Pom-Pom Faux Mink Fur.
This scarf come with a pom-pom elastic fastener

I am loving your blog and your creations. I am slower now at getting things made as I have developed serious arthritis at a youngish age. I love making things as I see you do to. I love the scarf and it looks like it would keep a very sore aching neck warm and comfy.
I look forward to keeping up with your wonderful creations. Thanks for sharing this with me.
Kindest regards
Sharon
I forgot in my excitement I am a fan on Facebook xx
My LYS carries this POM_POM yarn & I was wondering how and what to knit out of it.
It’s a fabulous scarf. Love it,love it,love it! It will keep me warm in Winnipeg(Canada) when it is -40 C and I walk to work in the morning.

I am a FAN!!!
Soo cute! I totally want to learn how to make this! I have never knit anything before though:) well…hopefully I win and then I can have a closer look !
Cute!! And I’m always cold… I have a jacket on in the office now! : )
I agree with the other photographer’s comment, I would love fingerless gloves! Both for when out shooting or when inside typing (seriously, I wasn’t kidding that the office is cold!).
What a neat scarf, I’ve been wanting to try that pom pom yarn. I think any thing handmade is the best!
I think that scarf would be wonderful for our Canadian winters!
Luv this scarf and lots of the purses and bags you do!
What a gorgeous scarf!!
I would like to see fingerless mittens, as a photographer, I wear them all the time in the winter, and they make fab gifts too!
I am picperfic on facebook and I am already a fan of your group!
I love this piece!!! It looks so chic and cozy.
Awesome things to receive as gifts mittens, cowls, socks, and hats. Always useful, uses smaller amounts of yarn, have fun with quick knits and wide variations.
Looks warm and soft… would be great for trips to my brothers house, he moved to the cold (I live in Florida) and I don’t have much for the cold weather, I have tried to learn to make things like this but this is one craft I just can’t seem to master. Beautiful and artful work!
That/This is for Kimberly from california. (I looked at blog)
My winter will become warm…..
I love it! I’d love to see a handmade pillow with this funky stuff!
oh yeah I forgot about the pillow! I didn’t show the pillow cases, like I said previously, I am a one handed bandit! I need to go on and make a blog, I am so computer illiterate though. I jumped on over to your blog, Your a pro! I was just thinking you should do Etsy and I “pushed see how many heart you” you already do it! I am impressed. I have some crochet coasters that look just like your refrigerator owls that my great grandmother made over 30 years ago and they are still in use today. I can’t crochet b/c I only have use of one hand but if it can be done I would love to try. I am knitting with a knitting mnachine its taking me way too long. lol
The scarf is darling. I could use a scarf it is cold here … brrrr forgot to turn my heat on the other night and woke up to 64 degree in here. I would like to see scarfs for christmas gifts. Plus hand towels or table napkins. Aprons, yes. I saw the one you made for your friend. I only have one hand but hey I can sew. Ask Wendy Glasco .. lol Hi Wendy, I am sorry I used your name! .. lol I love the warm colors of green which is my fav. (army green) my son just got back Iraq. No wonder I love I Army Green. I am a fan of course who wouldn’t be. Now is the time for crafts with Thanksgiving and Wow Christmas around the corner, Where to you go for the instructions for the scarfs? I would like to make some for friends and family BUT is it easy for a one handed person? I would also like crafts that one could make one handed, I have one of those knitters with different shapes. I making a scarf out of it you know what colors? Grean, Brown, tan and black .. lol I have knitted 10 rows and its taking me one month Y’ikes. I am a facebook fan and a fan of Craft Passion. Keep up the gorgeous work and look forward to the other surprises you have. Carrie (mac11462@aol.com)

Many congratulations on such great creativity and even more blessed to have such a beautiful skill. Greetings from Mexico and I hope to be the winner: D
Scarf looks sweet! It reminds me of fall and the Indian Corn speckled with the hues of yellow to red and black and cream.
Enter me in the contest too! Love it!
I love the scarf and the yarn – please tell me where I can get it!
Please enter me!
OH yeah, I forgot to mention that I am a fan on facebook 🙂
Great scarf! looks cozzy and I am a weather wuss. maybe some slippers would be nice next or some gloves to match the scarf would be nice for the next give away?
Hi Joanne,
Your scarf is wonderful!!! It is definitely a great accessory to have, one that is stylish and one that looks awfully warm!
One would have to build their outfit around that scarf 🙂
I am a great fan of your purses! My favourite is your pear purse, and your hedgehog purses are just divine!
You keep inspiring me to try harder and be better at the little crafty things that I do, so for that, I thank you!
Robyn
I think the neck scarf is great. I am a fan. I like purses, totes and kitchen accessories. Keep up the great work. Annette
It’s just starting to get cold here and I’m once again beginning to think about my scarf obsession. A scarf like this would definitely be a wonderful addition, and the most unique. I would also love to see more pieces, from baby on up. Thanks for the give-away opportunity. I’m sure the winner will love receiving this great creation of yours.
I just started reading your site and love the creativeness! The scarf is gorgeous!
I love the texture and colors. It reminds me of lichen and moss that grows on rocks. My house tends to get cold in the winter months so I can never have enough slippers, wrist warmers, or throw blankets. I make wristwarmers for my daughter and I, but I would love to see a simple pair that boys can wear as well.
I look forward to continue browsing through your site. It is put together well.
I am a facebook fan.
I saw your post on Rav. Who knew this yarn would knit up to look so cool.
Of course, I’d love to win the giveaway. But in case I don’t, thanks for the inspiration anyway.
The scarf is fabulous! You’re so creative! I would love handbags or anything for the home. Thanks for the giveaway! P.S. My facebook is Salihan Laugesen and I’ve re-tweeted this too. 🙂
I absolutley love this scarf! It is so creative and eye catching, just what I like! I love the handmade crafts, I would like to learn how to do more things I love to sew handbags, I have knitted a shawl, and tried crotchet but is going to need more work! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! Mandi
This is ~”TOTALLY~~” SUPER SHARP!!!
I LOVE IT!!
This is incredible! I’d love to know how you came up with a pattern to turn a yarn with such long spaces between the slubs into such a thick and cushy fabric. I can only imagine the texture, but it looks like the most luxurious-feeling fabric ever!
Totally love this. I still need to get around to using your great tutorial on triangle fold scraps.
I’d love to see a tutorial about creating your own sewing pattern for a frame purse with step-by-step instructions. I’m intimidated by the thought of designing my own sewing patterns! 🙂
I love the scarf! I’d like to see stylish cases for bulky cameras.
I like that idea too!
Hi there!
I found your facebook page from a friend and became a fan. I love all of your cleaver creations and can’t wait for more.
Thanks for sharing and keep it up:-)

What a fun scarf. You are very talented. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Hi, Joanne, the scarf is very unique. At a first look, it seems like nothing, but after reviewing all 4 photos, I believe who ever the future owner will surely love and treasure it!!
I just got to know your website 2 weeks ago and it is really inspiring. I’m having great time checking out all the creative craft ideas. Thanks for the sharing!
Oooh, Joanne, this is lovely! You have seen what our winters are like, and I think this would be stellar for one of the people that live in this house!
I log onto your site daily to see what you are up to. I especially like your bags. I have crafting envy for all of your mad skill! I wish that I could come to Malaysia and get some personal lessons from you!
I also adore the knit halter that you made for your daughter. The colors are spot on!
In a way, we are similar, as I have so many different types of crafting that I like to do also!
Wish me luck in the giveaway!
Beth
Sure oops, I forgot to mention that I am a facebook fan too.
Hi there, been a silent reader quite a while and now im making my apperance visible. well, im not good in sewing but i do adore and admired those who have skill and passion for it,. and this scarf is really impressive, i wonder how long you spend your time for it ya..
anyway, back to your question, the one that i really hope I could own for is the Batik Apron. I love cooking and it may be a joke if im telling others that Im giving out Apron, but by looking at your apron, it would be unique and elegent craft/creative design that one may always remember especially when it is specially made.
comes with batik, the malaysian proud textile, i bet chef wan will easily get envy to Bee Yin 🙂
Already be your fan – Wan Amira WAn Salleh
I like your scarf. That your is wonderful. I was reading one of you tutes on how to use a t-shirt and turn it into yarn. I am going to give it a try. Your hedgehog purse is very clever. You do great work.
Your scarf looks absolutely beautiful, so warm and cozy too! It sure will come in handy where I live, it’s already down to 5 degree, soon it will be below -20. I love the color combination, sage green and muster yellow are my favorites.
I love your glass lantern, and it doesn’t seem too complicated to make either. I can totally see my self making one with my kids, we might try it next year. I’m also a fan on facebook.
P.S. Have you ever made a sleeping pouch? My 3 yr old keeps on tossing and turning, I have to get up at least 5x every night just to put blanket over him. So I thought of making a pouch, but don’t have any designs in mind. If I don’t find a solution soon, my pouchy black eyes will be the only feature people will notice on my face. As the craft master, could you shed some light? Thanks.
Hi Joanne
Brr! Brr! It is getting cold. The scarf can really be part of a collar for my top. That way it will keep me warm. Thank you for all the lovely ideas on your site. It helps me to get inspired too to make my own handmade cards and other crafts too.
Im a Fan!!!
The scarf looks divinely soft it would be great for my mum she loves all things green and is always cold. brrr!
I would love to see more tutorials i have a very creative brain but not very creative fingers i like to make things for my daughter but sometimes struggle to get a great finished product and i would love to give your fab work a try.
I love all your work! You are certainly a well-rounded crafter! I hope I win this scarf!

I love this scarf! It looks so soft and cuddly. How about a hat to go with it? It gets pretty cold where I live. 😀
whoops! forgot to say I am a facebook fan!
I love your creations, they are just soooo beautiful. Keep on inspiring us fans of yours to be creative.
Thank you.
I am a friend on facebook, but for whatever reason, I had no idea this was even going on. It’s so awesome. I’m in Alaska, so I would LOVE something this stylish to keep my chilly neck tidbits warm!

That is a very neat scarf. It looks so snuggly. Was the yarn difficult to knit with. I have stayed away from the heavly textured yarn, thinking it would be more difficult to knit with…
facebook name, shannon Rose
Unique and fun stuff you make. Enjoy seeing what is next! You are so clever! Thanks for sharing your talent!
I LOVe this scarf! I have a sage geeen coat that is the same green in your scarf. I would love to have a tote that is huge and has a long handle so that the tote itself lands at my hip area.
I can sew anything, and crochet some, but have never attempted knitting.
You have inspired me to give it a try..Any suggestions for a beginer?
God bless! Diana Adams
this is so unique! It has such an interesting look to it & I’m going to be raiding my local wool shop to see what fascinating wools I can find. Thanks for the inspiring creations – love the hedgehogs – my daughter would LOVE one to snuggle with, since they aren’t prickly little things at all!
Keep up the crafting!
creative and trendy….i wanna have one if i can….(“,)
This is awesome Joanne!! Very trendy and up beat! I really love those little hedgehogs too! You are super crafty – every time I see stuff on your site I want to make things, but my little one is so busy . . . He doesn’t let me get much sewing in these days
Hi Joanne!!! I love this scarf (neck warmer!) what can I say, I love your work period! What I am trying to complete is the Pagoda Lamps, I want to try and do four for mew place that I will be moving into soon, I just know they will be BEAUTIFUL and go BEAUTIFULLY in my new patio! I also want to try the Manek Beaded Shoes but I will start with the small items, since I am not a pro, I would love to learn how to crochet (I have a vague idea because I had to do it in my native country in elementary) but I forgot, I also sew basic items like skirts and plain one pocket collar shirts more like school uniform style! I love love love what you do and I hope that you will continue to bring us all this wonderful crafty goodies!
Have an amazing and rested weekend!
Your friend Gisselle R. Andueza
I wish it is in my wardrobe now so that I can start persuading my hubby to plan for a holiday in country which winter is coming soon. A pair of mitten will be the perfect matching to me! 😉 Will definitely inform my readers about this wonderful giveaway.
Hi Joanne,
All of your items are SO beautiful!! I love the scarf. My mom taught me how to crochet about 5 years ago. I would love to learn how to knit!! Not sure what I would like to see on your site..everything is so great that you do already!! You have a Great Passion for your work!
Hi Joanne,
Your scarf is beautiful. I saw a tutorial on how to knit with this yarn. I’m not the greatest knitter but when I have some time, I may give it a try. A hat would be nice to go with the scarf. It’s already getting chilly here in Massachusetts so scarfs and hats make great gifts.
Nancy
Joanne,
The things you make are so beautiful! I have been sewing for over 23 years now (I started at age 4) and I have found that your passion gives me yet another source of inspiration! I’m not so great at knitting, and was very impressed by this scarf that you are so generously giving away!
I am interested in finding new ways to embellish clothing, such as beading, or the cut-out method you used to sew your new “Craft Passion” logo. I am using the latter to decorate a black satin dress that I’m working on. When I get it finished, (hopefully soon!) I will have to send you a picture! I love sewing and anything related because it was a connection and passion that I shared with my Grandmother Jane, and she did so many wonderful things for the people in her life through her sewing talents. I hope to be able to be as inspiring to people in my life too. 🙂 Keep up your amazing work!
Mindy
Hi Hi Joanne, I love this scarf and I wonder how you knitted it. Did you knit it like normal or do you have to measure it accordingly to the length between the pom poms? Heheheeh I don’t know what I would like to see on this page as you have such varied crafts. I hope to see unusual offerings like this!!!
