Noro coaster set
Finished this set in two days. I decided to try and felt them and after two washes I got a nice effect.
Lana bambu purples scarf
I used this wonderful Lana bambu yarn to make this scarf. The stitch is a half double crochet through the back loop which makes little ridges and gives the fabric a wonderful texture.
Shell stitch scarf
I’m finally getting around to posting his finished scarf. This is from one huge hank of bamboo wrapped wool yarn I got from the Fibre Studio Shop in Charlotte NC. I think it was 720 yds. I can’t find the label but remember it was five ply sport weight. The yarn was a little difficult to work with at first but I got use to it.
Countryside Ruffle Scarf
For this scarf I used Sundance Countryside yarn which is Acrylic/Mohair/Wool and used a simple ruffle pattern. It’s a modified version of the LoDo scarf pattern on Ravelry.
Angora Skinny Scarf
I tried a new pattern for this skinny scarf. You can find it at http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa030106.htm. I used an angora/wool blend yarn with an H hook.
Countryside scarf
This nice long scarf only took a couple of days to make. I used a simple fan stitch and used three balls of Sundance Countryside wool/mohair/acrylic yarn. However, because I hardly ever use patterns, I now have one ball leftover. Tassels? Maybe. I have 4 balls of another color so I’ll just make it wider!
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.
Rainbow extra wide scarf
Here is an extra wide scarf I made from two skeins of seastorm yarn bee rainbow wool. I thought it would come out longer and be more like a shawl so I guess that’s why people follow patterns. However, it still turned out to be a nice wide scarf. I crocheted this in a simple fan stitch.
Noro Wine Cozy
Well, I set out to make a scarf but didn’t like the feel of the yarn SO I got inspired to make this instead! I used one skein of Noro Yuzen wool silk mohair yarn and a simple shell stitch. I sewed together the sides to make a sleeve and turned it inside out. Then with the remaining yarn I made the knitted tension cord for the bottle neck. I think I have finally found a great use for this yarn!
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:
