9 Knitted Scarves here in a variety of sizes and colors from Pat E. Thank you Pat, they are so nice and soft. I think these are all made from Lion Brand Homespun? 2 nice brown ones, and a black one, beige, pink, coral, 2 pastel variegated ones, and my personal favorite...green. The Green is such a pretty shade, I gave it center stage in the photo op. lolStill plenty of time to get yourself entered in the comment contest. You can't win if you don't entered and you increase your chances of winning by commentings on each other's hard work. So, get busy folks. the $40.00 gift card from JoAnn awaits. Contest runs til the end of June 15th.
Have added a working calendar across the top of the blog, please check it out. AND, would like to add more patterns to the pattern tab. If you have a favorite you use often for hats, scarves, mittens, slippers, etc, sing out. Remember we need to honor copyright issues.

Pat E., the knitted scarves are lovely. I really like the Lion Brand Homespun yarn. It seems to take a little longer when I crochet with it because I have some trouble with it splitting, but the finished product is always wonderful. A couple of years ago I used it to make a poncho--for myself; how often does that happen? I love wearing it.
ReplyDeleteThe scarves are so nice -- something to go close to the heart! I have trouble weaving with LIon HOmespun, but it works so nicely in all other ways. Beautiful work! Sandie in hot FL
ReplyDeleteLovely work Pat E!! If you don't mind me asking, how much yarn did you use for each of the adult scarves (approximately of course)?
ReplyDeleteVery nice scarves. I should try knitting some scarves. I mostly crochet.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I just finished a scarf using Homespun. It does sort of drive me crazy when I'm knitting with it but I like the finished project.
ReplyDeleteSandy, I also liked the knitted scarves Pat sent. Rosemarie.
ReplyDeleteLove all the visits, and nice comments you all are making about each others work. I like homespun and have used it both to knit and crochet.
ReplyDeleteI keep buying homespun-like yarns but I really never enjoy working with them. I can't see the stitches as well as with other yarns. Probably my eyes. I end up giving it to my daughter. She can work with it fine. Love the calendar. Nice to know what's coming up. Cotton cloths and squares any size?
ReplyDeletePat, your scarves are truly BEAUTIFUL! Great job! Keep those needles flying!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty scarves! They will be warm this winter! I'm learning to knit, hope I can make scarves like these someday!!! Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteI especially like Homespun when someone else knits/crochets with it. But I like food other people cook better than my own too. And I NEVER met a folded towel I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteGreat scarves! They look so soft!
