    New scarf

    January 29, 2015 - By 

    At knitting on Tuesday, I learned a new pattern for a quick and easy scarf. I had some random yarn in my bag so I decided to give it a go.

    The pattern is cast on 9 stitches. Knit 40 rows. Cast off. Then you cut 6 ft lengths of fringe…double over and thread thru the folded  knit piece effectively closing it into a loop. Wrap it around you neck and pull the long ends thru the knitted loop. Easy peasy…just think about your colors….

    In my hands the 3 colored skeins of yarn looked really nice…and maybe as wide stripes it would have worked…

    But all I see is BACON.  And now I bet you do too. 🙂

    I’ll likely end up tearing this back apart and using the scraps for something else.  Oh well…at least I learned something.

    I’m linking up once again with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday. list tea

    I spent the morning with my cup of coffee preparing a list for today.  Lots of errands. I worked a couple days last week so I feel a bit behind.

    This morning as I was getting my knitting bag ready, I realized I have a problem… A big one. yarn problemI can’t stop myself from buying yarn at Goodwill!!! Yikes. I buy it WAY faster than I can use it.  At least, I can say that I AM using it.

    What are doing today?

    Perhaps if I gave myself some more room, I’d be more productive.

    So many projects…so little time.
