My goodness! Who knew I had so many unfinished projects in that heap of yarn and patterns?
I decided to work on this scarf which I finished last night . . . hooray!
It's a cotton yarn so the scarf is meant to be worn more as an accessory (although not necessarily with this gray sweatshirt I have on today!) than something to keep my neck warm.
I like this pattern because even the back, or wrong side, is attractive. (In this picture the right side is on the right, flip side on the left.) It's called the "berry" pattern. I've used it to make a scarf once before, but this one I think I'll keep for myself. It is orange, and we all know orange is my color!
Happy Valentine's Day to y'all! We're celebrating by doing some snow removal. I just came in from shoveling off the front deck. The piles of snow surrounding the deck are so high now that it's hard to throw the snow over them without it tumbling back at me. We got around 6-8" yesterday but had winds that caused a bit of drifting. Papa Pea shoveled a drift away from the door before I could even get out to the deck. Hope all of you who are experiencing some winter weather in the south and east are warm and safe.
Beautiful scarf Mama Pea!
ReplyDeleteDFW - Thank you! It was fun to knit . . . even though I did have to keep track of every row!
DeleteDon't you find it difficult to pick up a pattern where you left off a long time ago?
ReplyDeletetpals - For sure! BUT at least I was smart enough when working on this scarf to stick a note in with the yarn and needles (and pattern) indicating what row I had just finished so I knew what row to begin again on. Whew! Unfortunately, I finished a child's hat last night that I failed to do the same on and it took me quite a while (counting stitches over and over) to figure out just where on the crown decreasing I was!! Win some, lose some.
DeleteThe scarf looks great. I too have a heap of unfinished projects here. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteKristina - You may have a heap of unfinished projects . . . but you get many, many, many projects done!
Deletegorgeous ,beautiful ,aw some ,did I say beautiful yet? oh ,the scarf of coarse ,too bad it isn't red ♥ Happy valentines day
ReplyDeletejudy - If the scarf were red, you would be tryin' to steal it from me! ;o)
DeleteOrange is my girls favorite color so I have knit several scarves in orange. I like this pattern.
ReplyDeleteLisa - Yay, more orange lovers in the world!
DeleteI like the berry pattern! It is always so rewarding to get a project finished that has been sitting for awhile. Oh, and I forgot to tell you how AWESOME the shower curtain is looking! :)
ReplyDeleteCandy C. - Thanks! I'm on a roll getting things done . . . two hats and am working on the second sock of a pair. No work on the shower curtain though. That will come, too.
DeleteIt's so lovely. I hope to be good enough to complete a scarf like that! Nice work!
ReplyDeletedaisy g - Thank you! Knitting just takes a little practice . . . like so much else!
DeleteOoooo, pretty scarf. That looks lovely! You are ready for Spring!! - probably in more ways than one?! I know I sure am.
ReplyDeletePS we only got @2" of snow and it all melted by the day before Valentine's Day - and now we're expecting 70 this week? Weird, weird, weird. Hope your weather warms up soon for you too.
Lisa - Surprised to hear you got only 2" of snow. We got another 8-9" yesterday. Today our temp has warmed to almost 30° -- wow! -- so snow removal this morning was a little more strenuous. Heavy snow rather than the light stuff we've had with the colder temps all winter so far.
