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.

Purty new things

Hey errybody that may still read this. Sorry bout an extreme lack of updates. Over winter i managed to knit two really awesome hats, some scarves, and now that brings me to the summer knitting season. I picked up the Spring/Summer Vogue knitting issue, and fell in love with the first pattern in it- for a really gorgeous beaded shell. I'm not sure if i'll do the beading or the ribbon work, but who knows? I just hope to have it done for the beach, and as this is my first really complicated/wearable item i hope it turns out at least 'pretty good'. So, here a pic of the "finished product" as in the magazine: And here's what i have thus far: The yarn the pattern calls for (and for once the one i used) is Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale" which i got 7 skeins for $33, amazing price thanks Kathy at Kathy's Kreations. I'll keep this updated as i move along, and try to get some pictures of those hats up too!
