LoDo Scarf
I found this great pattern from the yarn shop in Summerville, SC – The Village Knittery (which is a great shop by the way). The person working there found this scarf pattern on Ravelry and printed it out for me. I used two skeins of Berroco Ultra Alpaca and modified the pattern slightly so it wouldn’t be as wide. I will definitely use this pattern again!
Gray men’s scarf
I used Debbie Bliss Glen yarn for this very simple scarf. I used a half double crochet through the back loop stitch and a size H needle. This made for a tight stitch which will make for a very warm scarf! The yarn is wool, alpaca, and acrylic.
Scarf Project for Me!
I got a wonderful gift recently! My common-law sister-in-law sent me 4 skeins of this beautiful black yarn and told me to make myself something, so I’ve started it! The yarn is wonderful to work with and is making a beautiful scarf. It’s called Mirasol Akapana and it is 65% Baby Llama, 25% Merino Wool, and 10% Donegal. I had to look up donegal and it appears to be a kind of tweed yarn. I also looked up the web site to find out more about the Mirasol project which supports Peruvian schools.
Here is a look at the knitting board I’m using for this scarf:

Here is the scarf at its current stage which is from one skein. I’m using a rib stitch:
