Fan and Feather scraf

11.14.08 / Danielle / 0 Comments

The above is the scarf i made for my friend Patty….the pattern is called Fan and Feather….i didn’t realize what a popular and common design it was until after i made it. I need to make another one now before Christmas for my boss.

And below is a scarf i’m working on right now as another gift….the pattern is a fancy rib stitch and i’m knitting it with organic cotton…so beautiful and soft. The picture doesn’t do it justice.

AAWWWW….what an adorable bunch of knitters. From right to left….me, Lucy, Paula and Dee. We all work together! Lucy and Paula are sisters and have been knitting since they were little kids, and we just taught Dee and she took to it like a fish to water! We knit a lot at work (yes, i love my job) and we are going to try to meet at least once a month to knit together….stitch and bitch if you will…and right now we are all working on making hats for cancer kids. Well, THEY are working on the cancer hats….I am procrastinating and making knitted Christmas presents as fast as my little hands will go. But i need to get my butt moving on that and make at least one special hat for someone who will really need it.

The very first scarf I ever made

It was just a garter stitch scarf that i was so proud of i adorned it with beads along the bottom. It’s not particularly warm seeing as how i used size 13 needles on it and it’s very “lacy” as a result.

Next i tackled a couple of bibs for a baby shower gift. They too were just garter stitch….super easy pattern i found online.

Then came a blue bib for Little Boo’s friend, Cooper. This one came out better and was so soft…i can’t remember what yarn i used though.
