You will be happy to note that I'm done with the Turqua and Blue scarves! On to different color schemes.
First up is a plain dc scarf which is dressed up in the beautiful ombre shades of color.I used this photo in yesterday's post. ;-) The yarn is called Sage Butter. It's a Loops and Thread Impeccable yarn.
Finished size is 7" x 63 1/2". It feels a bit strange to be making wider scarves again. heh This one is headed to Knit Your Bit.
Next up is a hat for a special request at Bev's Charity Challenge. (You can read about that group at
Bev's blog.) The hat is just a simple dc and sc hat. The rounds are 12 dcs, 24, 36, 36, 48, 48, 60, 60, 72, then work even to however many rounds (about 7 1/2"), then four rounds of single crochet.
On that same group we were talking about wash cloths for Volunteer Angels so I worked up a few of those. I haven't worked with cotton in a while and this pretty variegated was nice to work with. The cloths are varied sizes.
Presently, I'm working on a scarf made with bulky Charisma yarn. More on that when it's done I'm using an M hook and straight dc so it should be quick.
Happy crocheting!

How funny - I usually make skinny scarves so it was very weird to me to do ones as wide as the Special Olympics required. I love that about crochet - that everyone can do their own thing and still make great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love the design you got with the yarn from the scarf. I don't know how you do it. I have tried to do it using the same yarn and it comes out differently. I know our gauge is very similar, cant figure it out. Anyway, once again I am thrilled with your work.
ReplyDeleteGhost, I chained 22 for that scarf. That scarf is already on its way but when I was looking for a bit of leftover to get gauge I found two more skeins! So I'm making another. The gauge is 4 rows and 13 sts in 4" or 4 rows and 6 1/2 sts in 2". I used an H hook.
