A New Scarf Pattern
Here it is - the lengthwise knit scarf in worsted weight..
It's 150 stitches on a size 13 circular worked in garter stitch. The colors are changed every other row except for the cast-on, bind off & 5 rows of garter in black on each edge. I left long tails when I started a color and then tied it together with an equally long tail forming the fringe on the end where the colors were changed. On the other end, I cut a double length of the yarn and added a tassel to match. The result is a rather colorful scarf about 6' long (+ fringe) to go with the solid black knit cap. I may try this in crochet and fewer color changes because of the width of a double crochet row. I'm just not sure how a crocheted scarf will match up with a knit hat.

More charity knitting? You get a standing ovation for that, but you keep putting the knitting for YOU on the back burner...shame shame shame!
I think there's a lace shawl (Adamas?) and a sock or two waiting in the wings...stop feeling guilty for taking care of you! YOU deserve it! A little knitting each day can go towards your own projects, you know?
(((hugs)))
