I am doing something very unlike me.. I am juggling a few crochet/knitting projects at the same time. Usually I like to focus all my energy on one things till it's finished and then start a new thing. However this month I'm working on lots of things.
A scarf for my brother John. I hope he likes it. I've never crocheted for him before and he's a young guy. I love how this pattern reminds me a little of hounds tooth. I think he will like the colors. The pattern is called the Subway Scarf by Vickie Howell
Also on the hook, a plum colored cropped cardigan for Anaiah. I just started this today and expect to finish it quickly. It's a simple and cute pattern that I was given and couldn't wait to get started on! No pictures yet.. sorry. It's the same yarn I made the Small Talk shawl out of.
On some needles, another scarf... sadly I as of right now do not have enough yarn to finish it. Hopefully I can get some more. I don't have a huge stash of yarn but somehow I did think I had more than I actually do have of this yarn but the pattern is so lovely I hate to rip it all out. I'm also a VERY slow knitter so that's hours of work for nothing if I frog it.
The pattern is Three Sisters scarves #2 by Monika Steinbauer

the three sisters scarf is soo nice.Lovely colourway that suits the pattern very well.I am a slow knitter too.
ReplyDeleteLove the knitted scarf, both the colors and the pattern. Fingers crossed that you're able to match the yarn. If not...can you find a solid the blends with it and put the coordinating solid in the middle and make the ends these pretty variegated?
ReplyDeleteI love the crocheted scarf! Even though it's unbearable to frog things, I wonder if you frogged the knitted scarf and knit it narrower (it looks like you're doing 4 repeats - so maybe do 3 or even 2?) if you'd have enough yarn that way? or you could just have a really short scarf with buttons that could act like a cowl! I think that'd be beautiful =)
ReplyDeleteI, too, like to focus my attention, but alas, things come up :) I think that grey/black scarf is lovely! I might have to check out the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThe subway scarf is so cool. I love that color combination. Perfect for a young guy. I hope that you can find more yarn for the pretty knitted scarf. I like Erin's suggestion of maybe turning it into a cowl.
