Pink. That’s the color that started ideas swirling in my head. A friend of mine asked me to make a scarf for her grandaughter. There weren’t any specifications except that it needed to be pink. I started off thinking I’d put hearts on it, but it wasn’t working like I planned. I took the scarf… Continue reading Spring Is Coming Scarf Pattern (Paid Pattern)
A friend of mine recently had a baby. This is not an unusual occurrence in this stage of my life. But she had kept her pregnancy off of social media, so while I knew about it, I had no idea when she was due. There was a blanket that I saw that was perfect for… Continue reading A Little Baby and a Whole Lot of Yarn
There is not a single flake in the air, but they say it’s coming: Snowmageddon. We are close to the line of rain vs. snow, but currently they are call for 8-12 inches. I’m so hyped up about this that I’m going to be bummed if we don’t get more than six. So, we’ve got… Continue reading Snowed In? 5 Projects to Keep You Busy
One week ago, we were in the car driving from Kansas to Pennsylvania. Kansas (and much of the Midwest) had just been hit by a blizzard. Seriously, a blizzard. While the snow had just started when we left for church Sunday morning, by the time we returned to my in-laws two hours later, we could… Continue reading Winter Wonderland Scarf (free pattern)
It’s too late to start new Christmas presents (maybe), and I finished my crocheting for the blanket bee (most likely), so I turned my attention back to the Crochet One-Skein Wonders book. This is actually the second new project I’ve done from the book in the past week, but the first one I’ve finished. After… Continue reading One-Skein Wonders: Easy-to-wear Cowl
I posted about Scarf 10, and was so excited to have completed my challenge, that I didn’t realize I never posted about Scarves 8 & 9. Here goes. Scarf 8 was a simple chevron in fun fall colors. I finished with a matching hat from a different pattern. I’m in love with orange, so these… Continue reading What about Scarves 8 & 9?
I finally turned my attention away from blankets tonight. I’ve called in the cavalry, in a manner of speaking, and have started collecting the blankets. They’ll be donated to the pregnancy center after Thanksgiving. I found this pattern on Pinterest and have been wanting to try it for a while. It is a paid pattern… Continue reading Scarf #10: Sunny Triangle Scarf
The seventh scarf of my scarf challenge is a ribbed scarf. I couldn’t find a pattern that was exactly what I was looking for, so I wrote my own. The name was inspired by the color of yarn that I chose. It looked exactly like a Snowy Owl to me. Do you see it? The… Continue reading Scarf 7: The Snowy Owl Scarf and Headband
I’ve been chugging along on my scarf challenge. Number 6 is finished. It was actually finished a week ago, but I had to put some fringe on the end, which obviously seemed like an insurmountable task! This deep teal scarf is a scarf for dressing up. It’s not going to keep you super warm, but… Continue reading Scarf 6: For Dressing Up
This scarf worked up faster than any I’ve done yet. My box of yarn arrived this morning. I picked up this skein after my oldest finished her school mid-afternoon, took it with me while my other daughter did speech, then continued working on it while I socialized this evening. I used Lion Brand Scarfie again.… Continue reading Scarf 5: Openwork Scarf
