Old and New

This scarf, bag and two baby hats are the ones I put on display in library this year.  

These two scarves I made a long time ago.  I love this yarn.

This one is a drop stitch scarf.

I like the diagonal effect on this one.  It is a yo, knit 2 tog style, with the pattern on one row and knitting back on the 2nd row somehow makes this with diagonal rows and slanted ends.

Skirt to Scarf

My latest rags to riches project. It was my daughter's idea.  We have had a skirt around here for 5 years, one of those unfinished edge tiered ones with a lot of different patterns.  My oldest daughter wore it until she was tired of it and the bottom piece was ragged, so we cut it off, and my youngest daughter wore it until she wanted it shorter so we cut off the bottom to make it knee length and she had the idea to make it into a scarf.

We found a tutorial here.

This is what we cut off the skirt.

 Basting along the sections with visible thread.

Gathered ready to sew. Which was a little difficult by the way.  You need concentration and patience.

The finished product. 

Scarf for Cyndie

I was needing some handwork to do, so my friend bought the yarn and I made her a scarf. I love this yarn and now I have a skirt that would go with it, but it isn't mine!!

This yarn is one of those fuzzy thread like ones.

The pattern for this is CO 15 on 11 size needles.

Knit 3 Rows.

Row 4: Knit, yo 2 times, across.

Row 5: Knit, drop yo.

Row 6-7: Knit

Row 8: Knit, yo 3 times, across

Row 9: Knit, drop yo

Row 10-11: knit

Repeat Row 4-11 until desired length (about one skein), Knit three rows at the end and BO.

I'm doing another one now, where I'm just doing the yo three times every time to make the pattern.
