Aw..success, and on my first try! I admit, tho, to spending an hour or so one day last week refiling and organizing all of my knitting files on the computer. But, an endeavor which was well worth it, because I found the pics straight-away!
First, a 'manly' scarf for my husband's son. The pattern is Campus Scarf found in Scarf Style, by Interweave Press. This book has 31 patterns for scarves, both knit and crochet. It's a good one! I knit this scarf with a cashmere blend so it's very soft and non-scratchy for the neck. All knits and purls, a bit boring to work on but a good project to sit in front of the tube with.
Scarf number 2 (and 3)
This pattern, called Jute Rope, (available as a free download on Ravelry was made for my daughter, Jen. I used KnitPicks bulky weight and did most of this in the car on our trip to Las Vegas. Actually, I even did quite a bit of it in our hotel room, after I had decided that I might want to find something to do other than gamble, thereby assuring we would have enough money to buy gas on the way home! (Luckily, my hubby won back what I lost, so all was good).
But back to the scarf....I loved the weight and texture of this scarf, and enjoyed making it so much I decided to make another one for my step-daughter. So I did. It's gray.
And one last scarf ('tis the season to be warm!) made for my step-daughter-in-law (whew!, that's a lot of words!)
This is called the Asherton Reversible Scarf (for obvious reasons) and is also available as a free download on Ravelry. Speaking of which, you must be a member of Ravelry to access the site's goodies. Do it! It's great!
More stuff later. It's raining, and I must get out the book I'm almost finished with. Gray skies and rain call for reading.
