"Rainbow-ish" Scarf with Noro


Above one 1/2 skeins used.

Below the second skein finished and ends sewn in.


I had some left over Noro yarn from something….don't remember what. Might be what Nancy sent to me.  I have a hard time crocheting with Noro as it is wound funny…I think it is wound just the opposite of what other European companies wind theirs because while using it the yarn gets more and more wound up.  Drives me a little crazy.

I used both skeins to make the scarf.  I used the same stitch as I did on the Peachy Keen scarf (Posted above).  It is 3 stitches for each patterned stitch, plus1, plus 2 for the base. The stitch pattern is sc, ch1, dc.  Each end has a sc at the beginning and end. Turn, ch1. Simple.

This scarf should be blocked as the stitch doesn't look quite as neat and textured as it does in the DK yarn.

It goes in the gift pile!

A Blue Jean Scarf for the Girl

I made this infinity scarf for my DSD.  I'm not all that sure that I like it, but it did block out looking much nicer than NOT blocked.  I love the material and colors, but not thrilled with the stitches I used. No pattern.

It is on it's way to it's new home, so hopefully she will like it better than I do.

With Love Shawl


My shawl made from the Anna shawl pattern on Ravelry.  






This will go to charity.  I plan on making several to take to a cancer clinic for the mom's of the children with cancer, per the designers wishes.
