A Scarf Of Many Colors

Ok, it's two scarves. These are made from the leftovers of the Homespun scarves I've been making for the K4 project. They're worked on size 15 needles on far too many stitches because they're each about 8' long. {g} It's one of those "I got started and I can't quit" projects.



The one on the left is asymmetrical starting with a lavender/pink mix and moving to dark purple, a blue/purple mix and a bit of green. The one on the right is more planned with green, beige, a blue/tan mix, a rust/cream mix and then back again. They're actually prettier than they photographed. I brought home another bag full of Homespun today from our K4 meeting to make more scarves.

I'm also working on scarves & hats in worsted weight acrylic. I turned in a brown and cream set today and I have a black scarf completed with the matching hat on the needles. Other than these projects, not too much is happening. I haven't touched the Adamas shawl in about a week as I was eager to see how these multi-colored scarves would turn out given that I had a limited number of colors & limited yardage to work with.

I'm moving along with the Summer Reading Challenge. Not counting the book I finished about 1 a.m. on the first of the month when the challenge started, I've read seven books so far. There were a couple others that I read a few chapters and decided that I wasn't enjoying them enough to continue. The nice part about getting books from the library is that I can put that kind aside and take them back without feeling guilty. {g} The books are another reason why Adamas hasn't been worked on much - I can knit the scarves & hats or crochet the rag-tag afghans while I'm reading, Adamas on the other hand takes complete and total concentration.
