This is actually Off the Needles Friday for me. Been MIA the past couple of weeks, I was getting ready for Christmas.
On the 11th of December I decided to make my 3 granddaughters scarves for Christmas and needed to have them done by the 23rd. Two of them I decided to crochet and the other one knit. The first crocheted scarf I started with one pattern and got a couple of feet done when I figured out that pattern was using too much yarn. I found a pattern called 'One Skein Chevron Scarf' which worked out much better and used that pattern for both crocheted scarves. The knitted scarf I used the pattern called 'Simple Lace Scarf'
Then I decided I wasn't done with scarves yet and knitted myself one too. Not fond of the yarn but I do like the colors and the gradual changes. The pattern is called 'Easy Rainbow Scarf'
The YOSS Group on Raverly is having an impromptu KAL for January. No set pattern is chosen but you are to choose one of Thea Colman's patterns. I decided to join in and chose Cherry Vanilla Cardigan and am using some stash yarn that I bought for another cardigan that I cannot remember which pattern I was going to use. The yarn is Cascade Ultra Pima and I think the color is mushroom.
Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.
