Yarn Parade!

Welcome to the yarn parade! Here are some of my current projects-

The Mike D Scarf:


This scarf is for my buddy Mike D. He asked me to make a scarf for him, and i decided to make it Mike D-style, meaning: As crazy as i could! This is made with simple a Red Heart yarn; a teal-green solid and an ombre with the exact same teal-green color with purples, beiges, reds and blues to match.

It's just a simple drop stitch pattern, which makes the scarf nice and relaxed.

Row 1: K
Row 2: *K, YO*,
Row 3: K, dropping the yarn-overs-- repeat 2 and 3 till your heart's content

I've been knitting 2 rows with each of my colors, with row 3 being the first of each color. I've seen this pattern with weaving yarn through the gaps, i might do this with a bright red and a gold.

The Cotton Candy Scarf!


Sh... this scarf is my beaux's sister's christmas present. Knit with Lion Brand Landscapes on size 13 needles, it's just a plain stockinette stitch, knit double-wide so i can fold it over and sew up the side and have a nice look on both sides.

So far, it looks like i'm going to need 5+ skeins of this Landscape yarn, and at $5 a pop... thank god for 40% off coupons, fo sho'.

SHHHHHHHHHHH


I'm not posting the whole picture, because this is a super secret surpise for my beaux's sister. Whenever i finish it. But here's what it looks like really close.

Yep, it's that time of the year again. So far, i'm maybe 2/3 done with a scarf for the boyfriend's mum for christmas. I'd like to also knit a scarf for his sister. I really just want to re-make Cotton Candy, but somehow i feel like that's cheating, since i already made that pattern before for previous boyfriend's sister. :/ So, i dunno. Maybe i'll make her a purse or something. Or a scarf with a different pattern. That's pretty much the update. Pictures ... sometime eventually. I wish i had the cash to buy the yarn for a sweater.

Reusable produce bag!

  A reusable fabric produce bag! Very easy to make, and keeps all those plastic produce bags from messing up your good "i use reusable grocery bag" image at the check out line.
