Funky Chunky Garter Stitch Scarves Come in Pairs…

Some of you know that I was making Erica a scarf for Christmas… Some of you know that scarf wasn’t finished in time… And some of you know I finally finished it… Here it is!!

Also in the picture is a scarf made for myself last week. Mine is the gray, pink & white one and Erica’s is the purple. The purple yarn is some grape mostly Mohair yarn that is skinny and next to impossible for me to knit with. Finally I gave up on the intricate pretty scarf I wanted to make her (after tearing it out and starting over 4 times) and doubled the yarn on big 10.5 US needles! I worked a lot quicker that way, even though I prefer working on smaller needles! My scarf is made from some chunky furry no boundaries yarn from Wal-Mart just because I’ve not made myself anything yet and I decided I wanted a furry scarf ;)

And that’s a wrap!

Here is a very pretty wrap sweater that I made for Taylor, which is actually a bit short. It is like a belly sweater, but looks cute on her, especially with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath. I will try to post a picture once I take one. I am working on another one (in a lovely blue alpaca silk yarn) that should turn out more like it is supposed to. This sweater is from the book Simple Knits for Cherished Babies by Erika Knight. I bought this and two other new books, so I’m sure you will be seeing lots of new baby things on here soon! I love this book and can’t wait to make everything in it. Hope you like the sweater :)
