Heartland scarf

Here's my latest scarf.

Yarn: Lion Brand Heartland Thick and Quick #6 Super bulky, color Belle Isle. Skeins are 5 oz/124yds each. I used two skeins

Hook: L/8mm custom hook in the shape of a sonic screwdriver

Size: 6 1/2" x 61"

Pattern: foundation dc 15, dc across, work for 91 rows

The actual color of this yarn is a bit darker than pictured. I pulled a picture of the skein from LB website to get the right color.




Happy crocheting!

scarves

Here's what I've been working on. They're all straight double crochet and begin with a foundation dc. They are all between 6-7" and at least 60" long, most longer. You can see the hook used in the picture. The Premier Basix Mosaics (Sea and Zebra) are I hooks and the Mandala Impressions Lakeside (last pic) is an M hook.




I am having to pace myself with the arthritis in both hands but primarily in my right wrist and thumb.

Happy crocheting!

I Love This Yarn Royal blue scarf. 7" x 64" Made with an I/5.5mm candy cane hook by Laurie Whitaker.

Pattern:Foundation dc 22, work 120 rows in dc

I made a second scarf exactly like this one and with the same hook. The lighting was different as the picture was taken in the bedroom but I promise it is the same yarn.

ILTY red scarf

Remember yo-yos, granny dadughters and saltines? I was just looking it up today at Crochet Cabana's wordpress. The site is not updated as I ran out of space there but the info is still there.

Here is the scarf I finished tonight. It's I Love This Yarn red and made with an I/5.5mm hook.

The pattern is straight dc. I started with a foundation dc of 20 and worked 120 rows.

Finished size is 6 1/2" x 63".


Happy crocheting!
