Bow tie scarf

A gorgeous pattern I found on the web. Just google it.

These garter stitch scarves I have knitted using stashed yarn or donated by a good cause, going to the winter warmies for the NW Coast people of Tasmania.

I loved knitting these...

Pretty in pink

My little model

On larger needles and a tad longer all over. 

Have fun looking around and if you need anything else just holler.

Hoodie rainbow style

How loverly is this? I had to make one, this pattern cam across my feed on facebook. 

Here is the link to the pattern on ravelry harlequin hoodie

I've used a 5.0mm hook and 8ply wool, which is a little different to the written pattern, I had to change my numbers of rows and stitches by a few...

With lots of colours chosen by my girls and put into the correct colour order, I guess they love rainbows as much as I do, I made this.

On the hook...so gorgeous. love that purple pop

AND again finished. It loooks fantastic on...The girls want one in other colours now.
Love it for myself too...

And another colourway started, aren't the colours just gorgesous.

Hopefully you'll feel inspired to give this a go...

Infinity sparkle mesh scarf

Its so easy. Just like the arm knitting craze. But I have too big hands compared to my wrist size and I've tried enough times to keep pulling it apart. There are plenty of tutorials on the web now, Here are my girls having a go...

This yarn was the Moda Vera Hope yarn from Spotlight.

Here is my scarf and the pattern below:

I have used the Metallic Mesh yarn, normally used to knit the frilly wavy scarf, but I have used it as a normal strand, just another way to use my stash.

I've used 25mm needles. Cast on 8 stitches.
Pattern is Knit one row, Purl the next. Change colour and carry up side of work every two rows. I have knitted up two balls of yarn until ran out. This gave me a lovely lengthy scarf to wrap around twice.
Have fun...

Around my neck

For gifts and selling...yay for stash busting

on the needles...size 10mm

Finished size is about 34" long before sewing together by 8" wide.

It took all of three balls of yarn. 

The Pattern: MOSS STITCH...

Cast On 21 stitches.
Row 1 Knit one, Purl one repeat to end of row, ending with a Knit one (as you should)
Repeat Row 1 until you have your desired length, or run out of wool, leaving enough spare to sew ends together...
