Mandy is looking like one beautiful bitch in the sweater I made her on a round knitting loom 
Shell and V Stitch Scarf
For this scarf, I used a shell and v stitch and Universal yarn. This yarn is wonderful to work with and I got it from the great yarn shop in Beaufort, SC. Coastal Knitting is a welcoming and well stocked store and in a great location right downtown. I got some great advice there and picked up this and a few other kinds of yarn. If you’re ever in the Hilton Head SC area, I highly recommend making a special trip
my blue phase…
actually I made this for a cousin! I took two big and flashy yarns and turned them into a big and flashy scarf! For this scarf I used two Italian yarns: Filatura di Crosa Fancy Bocciolo and Cascase Yarns Lapin. I hope she likes it!

Funky Chunky Browns Scarf
I decided to use some left over brown chunky yarn I had left over from another project and I also had two skeins of Wool of the Andes Bulky hand-dyed “field mouse” yarn so I decided to make this HUGE scarf! I set my knitting board to 1.25 inches and used a simple stockinette stitch. Here’s the result!

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:

Bamboo Scarf
Ok, so i’ve been posting too many round loom projects! Here’s a knitting board one. For this scarf I used two skeins of Hobby Lobby Bamboospun Yarn (148 yards each). Using the knitting board is great because it creates a double sided piece so it looks the same on both sides. I used the open rib stitch on this scarf.

Garnet & Black Hat
I put this hat together in about 3-4 hours. Here is the brim finished on the adult size loom.

I used Yarn Bee Boucle Traditions Brushed yarn in cranberry and black doing two strands at a time.

The finished hat turned out to be a really good size – even long enough to flip up the brim! The brim is 12 lines and the body is 31 lines.
