This year at work some of the crafty staff are selling their items. I only had six scarves available to sell so hopefully they will find a home 🙂

This 100% alpaca was like crocheting with butter! Amazingly smooth and faultless! I’ll have to be sure and invest in really good alpaca from now on. I chose a basic feather and fan pattern for this scarf and worked it up in only a couple of weeks. It was a giant skein of 650 yards.
I finished this scarf in under a week! I used a 10mm bamboo hook and two strands of yarn: King’s Road Tweed by Knob Hill and Sublime merino. It’s difficult to tell but I used a linen stitch.
Today while rummaging through my stash, I came across a 75% completed child’s scarf. I think it’s moochi yarn but can’t be sure 🙂 so I spent about 45 minutes and finished it. It’s a linen stitch.
I made this scarf with three skeins of Sundance Krinkle Kotton in a mini bean stitch and a size J hook. I’m not sure the color but would say it’s in the salmon/peach family.
I’m really happy with how this scarf turned out! The yarn is beautiful and worked up great. It’s Claudia Hand painted yarns silky wool lace and I decided to use a G hook. The stitch is an iris stitch and is easy to do. You can watch this video to learn how to do it. After I finished the whole scarf I added a scalloped edge with 7 double crochets in every other side loop. Then I added the fringe with 5 strands in each empty space.
I just returned home from 4 great days at the retreat at Asbury Hills in Cleveland, SC. We had lots of interesting classes and took a field trip to Fletcher, NC to SAFF. We also had some great gifts from some vendors. The best gift bags were from Luna Lola which is Columbia’s newest yarn shop! I learned about color pooling too which I need to practice. I started a new project too. As usual, I bought too much yarn! Enjoy the photos!
I made this necklace for the South Carolina library associations annual conference silent auction. I hope it gets lots of bids! The money raised goes to the scholarship for diversity for the association.
I was in Michael’s last month and noticed this yarn was on sale so I grabbed two Skeins and decided to make myself this nice autumn scarf in a mini been stitch.
