I've been knitting spiral scarves, two down, one still on the needles. The one currently on the needles is done in pink/purple/rose/ and I have no idea what I will do with it. These two were gifted to my great nieces. Of course there was a disagreement as to who should have the pink one, but it was easily settled because the pink one was promised before it was made. The younger one will receive a pink scarf the next time as she told me "But I like pink best". I made a marble bag from some 127 Print Filatura Di Crossa for my great nephew, but it was nothing more than the top of a sock type thing so I didn't bother with pictures.
I've also made two of these red eyelash scarves just to keep my hands busy. The first one of these was a bit wider and it took just about three hours to complete while waiting in the airport a few weeks back. They have both been gifted.
The short rows purse has been re-blocked and came out nicely. I've got to find another button for it as the handmade one I'd planned to use has a chip off the side of it that makes it unuseable.
I'm in the planning stages of another purse to be made with Bryspun Kid-n-ewe, but I don't have enough of it to make the purse I wanted to so now to find an alternate idea that the recipient will like. If I could felt their white yarn I'd have enough, but all that I've heard about felting white yarns leads me to believe that I shouldn't try it.
Is the spiral scarf the same as the ruffled scarf pattern? I have the pattern book of scarves and wraps -- started the ruffled scarf -- but took sooooo long...still in progress. Love the pink one too!!!! Where did you find the pattern for your spiral? Have to have one!
ReplyDeleteI got the pattern off the internet here; http://www.knitpicks.com/projects/Projects_Display_Yarn.aspx?itemid=50355220
ReplyDeleteI cast on less stitches for the kids version, I think only about 75 stitches to start with.
