**Do you think it's possible for us to reach 500 scarves this calendar year? That popped into my head as I was updating our numbers. How fabulous that would be. Scarves for men, women, and children (not the wee ones...school age and up).**

AWESOME donation, Yvonne! Love the scarf! The pattern looks great! The hat looks nice and cozy too and really like the colors you chose. Keep those needles flying! You do great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comments. The scarf pattern is from an old Country Woman magazine, I believe. Cast on 32 stitches and knit however many rows you like.(I think I did 20). Then knit 4 rows of K2,P2. Then knit 20 more rows and then 4 rows of K2,P2. Continue with the pattern until you have the length you want. You can add fringe if you would like. Hope that's understandable.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your pattern, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I like the scarf too. And black socks! I wondered if grey or black would be better than white. I usually get grey or grey bottomed socks.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I've been away for a few days so haven't commented sooner, but love your donation. It's so cold here, I can attest to the need for warm socks - great addition to your skillful handiwork.
