Scarves galore!

For Christmas this year, I made over 25 of these frilly knitted scarves! The first few took about 4 hours each but after them I got the pattern down and they took about 1 hr 15 minutes. It's amazing what practice can do to your time.

The yarn is about 2 inches wide and so all you do is a very basic knit stitch back n forth. The instructions say to knit 6 stitches, but I like 7 or 8 to make the scar a little fuller. Most of mine were 7 stitches wide. Then you just knit the entire way, no purling, with a size 9 needle.


They were great to use as gifts and so much fun to make!

I haven't had lots of time lately to post in this blog, but I thought I would mention that I am doing a Layout a day challenge over at storytellers.lefora.com I would invite anyone to come participate in.
LOAD challenge 1 is:




I also am just finishing my January kit layouts, here is the first set of them.

Airport fun

Right now we are sitting in the las Vegas airport waiting for our flight that was to leave 1 hour ago. The kids are bored, John is grouchy and I am glad I brought a good book. They tell us we will be advised at 2 pm but the next scheduled leave is 2 am. I am happy about one thing, my dear sweet Macey is not with us. I really can't imagine 7 hours in the airport before a 2000 mile flight with her.
