Yarning It Up

Well, it's been a while since I have written anything. Mostly finishing up soccer season & getting ready for cold weather & Christmas.

I've been dabbling with yarn over the last 2 months. Thought I'd show what I've made. All are easy basic items.

This is a cute easy little scarf. The second one of this type I made using red yarn. The first one I gave to Suzietoots for hosting a Gather we attended in October. I like this design because of the shell stitich edging. A nice finishing touch. I used 2 different kinds of yarn for this pattern. It is not holey & should keep neck of recipient quite warm over the next few months.

This is another scarf made of same pattern as the one above. Different yarn. Far softer to the touch and yet once again, will keep recipient quite warm while out in the cold.




This is a Popcorn pattern...at least in my eyes. There appear to be little balls throughout the pattern giving a nice texture to this scarf. I think if I make this one again, it will not be as wide. Aslo, for you better crocheters out there...yes I did drop a stitch, but was just tooo lazy to rip out, again!! :)

The picture at the top of the page is a book mark. It is about 6 inches long. It is made from Crochet thread & a very fine hook. I made it in less than a couple of hours one morning. It did not take long, but I think I really should make an appointment with the eye doctor, if I want to continue to do such delicate work!!! :-). It is really quite pretty & I sure do hope the recipient will use it!!



Someone on AQ talked about a yarny site located at http://www.ravelry.com/. Whoever that was, I should want to strangle you -- I have spent many hours combing over that site looking for patterns -- but instead I will thank you for showing me a great reference. There are some very talented people out there in this world. Most of the items on that site, I will never attempt to even try...whoa!! Very complicated patterns. But ohhhh so nice to look at!!!
