WOO-HOO! Scarf is done!

I finished it today and I added some care instructions on a cord around the knit-with-love scarf. Of course I had to model it first!!
I am also sending along a red rose bookmark, a card with encouragement enclosed and a way to contact me via email.

Let this be encouragement to you! Scarves need to be sent in BEFORE Oct 15th so get-a-clickin!

This is the way I ROLL

Ok, so my experimental stitch pattern stinks out loud. It has rolled.....HARD!



Since it is no longer appropriate for the red scarf project, it has dove into the frog pond. *splooosh*

I will have to begin again. at least I have one scarf done.

The Photos I Promised!



Although, I can't get the close up detail like C4G.... here goes!





Lily Chin Crochet Red Scarf






















Here is my WSW red scarf... knit and coming along nicely!

Progress, slowly

Here is the progress on my red scarf in the my so called scarf pattern. Only 53 more inches to go...*faint*.
The pattern produces a thicker fabric than most, so it should be plenty warm for whomever gets it.


Some stitch detail.














PSssssssst! Daily Chum....*HA-snort*

Lily Chin crochet scarf complete!

I completed my Lily Chin crochet red scarf a few nights ago. Just now wove in the ends and it is all happy and ready to go! I will post a pic later tonight. I also cast on my second red scarf last night. Well actually I was going to do My So Called Scarf (just like C4G) ... however I got so confuzzled, and I am sure it is not *that* difficult. For whatever reason that night I just could not or didn't want to wrap my mind around it. So I decided yesterday to keep a part of it and do my own thing! It is coming along pretty nice and I am liking the pattern it is making. I am not sure if it already has a stitch name or not.... but here is what I am doing...

I cast on 20 stitches on size 13 needles
Using some random on clearance yarn cotton with little flecks of fabric intertwined ( pic to come tonight as well)

Ok so cast on your 20 or however wide you wish it to be...just keep it an even number
Row :1 KNIT
***Row 2 is what I snagged from the my so called scarf pattern***
Row 2: *P2tog, do not slip stitches off the needle, purl the first stitch again, slip both stitches off needle*
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until done, weave in ends and enjoy!

The WSW Scarf! :o)

Cast on!

I cast my red scarf on this afternoon using the My So Called Scarf pattern. The yarn is recycled from a recycled sweater I found at GoodWill's that I got lots of nice wool yarn from. I think I am gonna have to wash the scarf in some wool wash because it feels ruff to be after being dyed. It's probably just residue dye or it may be the humidity! Knittin with wool in the heat makes it stick to my skin! Anyhoo I twine dyed it.

Lime and Violet over at the Daily Chum say that if one links to them, they can find it...so here goes nothin!
