Another Scarf...

So I started work on yet another scarf. I have tried starting many different patterns and none of them seemed to work out so I decided to go with a simple ribbed scarf. This is a knit3 purl3 scarf, and it is probably good that I am working with this pattern so I can work on my purl technique, which always felt very awkward for me. At first I did not want to do a ribbed scarf because it seemed boring, but I am enjoying the way the scarf is turning out already, and it is not as boring as I originally thought.

Thanks to Kim I am now able to read my work, and reverse stitches if need be, and it has come in handy two times during the production of this scarf. Maybe once I am done with this scarf I will feel comfortable doing a ribbed hat for myself.

Enjoy.

Yay super fast shipping!

I ordered some yarn for my moms birthday scarf per her request. She said she really likes purples.. so I got a bunch of different purples to make a pretty purpley scarf.

The light purple is 100% baby alpaca of worsted weight and the darker purple is 100% cotton worsted weight.. it's a sort of bluish purple. It is neat and textered.

Yarn!

Yay after waiting for the longest period of time ever my yarn came(knit picks is located in OH and ships USPS of slow for the impatient)! It's pretty. One of them is 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk. It is 50g/440 yards of lace weight, its called Shimmer Turquise Splendor (of goodness)

The second is 100% baby alpaca, it is the same 50g/440 yards in a "tide pool" color.



I got this awhile back at michael's with a coupon.. it's going to go into my moms scarf with the other puprles that will be coming it's patton mohair nuance nightlife.. It is a sparkley fuzzy blue purple.

I also ordered some pretty purples per my moms request for a birthday scarf from supercrafty.

Failed knitter.

It's horribly sad I don't actually know how to "knit." I tried to remake my hat using knit one purl one for the first couple rows and actually use the knit stitch... it was hard but I finally got one row perfect except.. somehow my ends weren't connected, which didn't seem to bad.. until i got to the end and this big loop from lala land came out and scared me away. Knitting DS seems to be taking over! It is sad.
