FINISHED!

I love this lacy little scarf made with yarn that was gifted to me.  This very easy pattern is a one-row repeat--every row is the same.  The pattern is Jan's Sensational Scarf from the book, "One Skein Wonders--101 Yarn Shop Favorites." 

ANOTHER LIBRARY PROJECT

Earlier this week, five of us dyed silk scarves at our local library.  The library pprovided all supplies.  My scarf is the orange one.  This was a quick fun project. 
Next month we will make a "summer" wreath.  Each participant will bring a 12" foam wreat.  The rest of the supplies will be provided.

SOMETHING FOR WINTER

This neckwarmer was a very quick and very easy crochet project.  This Island Breeze Scarf was published in the Spring 2013 issue of Crochet magazine, which I found in my local library.  The designer made it in No. 3 cotton thread as a light, breezy scarflette.  One of my friends made it in a worsted weight yarn.  I made mine with Yarn Bee Effervesce from Hobby Lobby in the color Red Velvet.  This self-fastening scarf is very soft and warm.  I look forward to wearing it when the cold winds blow.

VALENTINE SCARF

I have had a lot of fun making

and wearing this bright red scarf.

In fact, I have crocheted three more

in this same lovely red color for friends.

The "Lacy" Scarf

Tonight I mentioned to DH that I hadn't blogged for quite some time.  He had seen me knitting on a "lacy" scarf and suggested I post it.  I finished mine a couple of months ago.  When I wore it, two church friends begged me to make one for each of them.  I bought yarn and started one; that is when I remembered what a "witch" it was to knit.  I completed the second scarf using the entire skein which made it quite a bit longer than mine.  I plan to give it to my DIL.  Because I made mine short, I am using the leftover yarn to make a third scarf with fewer stitches for my 8-year-old granddaughter.  She and her Mommy are ballet dancers and enjoy dressing alike when they perform at the local assisted living facility.

NEW SCARF

This is a scarf that I started. It is a simple knit pattern, but not totally "mindless." It requires a bit of counting, but most of all, it demands extra attention when dropping the yarn overs. There are several variations of this design--I selected one with fewer wraps. I am going to try putting the picture and more details on Ravelry.
