Yesterday was one of those days that I felt like I got a lot done. At least a lot of stuff that I wanted to do. The guest bed is still covered with stuff, the antique chair is still not recovered, the laundry is still not done, but I did make new pillow covers which I blogged about yesterday, and I also made this very cute, very springy scarf! So, see, all was NOT lost.
The pattern can be found at Vicki Howell's website - click here The project only took a couple of hours while I was watching TV - much faster than knitting!!!
I typically like to use yarn that I've purchased at my local yarn store, Magpie's Cottage, however there are times when I run to JoAnn's for fabric that something jumps out at me, and that's what happened in this case. The yarn is Caron Spa, a "silky soft Bamboo Blend" according to the label. It can be found at www.naturallycaron.com. The yarn is a little tricky to work with and tends to separate, but overall, not bad. And I like the drape for a springy scarf. My yarn shop has some new pima cotton that would have been great for this, too!
Busy day today - another non-stress test at the doctor's office, then the second half of my "Knit Baby Hats" class at Magpie's. I also have a very cute baby sweater to piece together and learn how to finish the edging. Stayed tuned for the finished projects!
