the gingerbread scarf is cute.

I am literally pulling my hair out...my daughter and her friend want scarves no biggie...out of red heart sashay...again no real issue since our LYS had plenty. I bought it never having worked with ribbon yarn before i read the instructions. again no problem. i decided that this is a perfect project for my new skill knitting...again no problem. Easy cast on easy stitches. I have had to frog the first one four times most recently at the very end becuase my daughter decided that it was too short...so this is attempt number 5 on just the first scarf.:think these teenagers are lucky i love them. It really knits quick so i should finish both by the end of the weekend but jeesh frogging four times on a simple one skein less than 10 stitch scarf. What was i thinking! I know this yarn is why i wanted to learn to knit...it really is easier to knit with it than crochet.

 

I'm knitting a scarf with Bernats Twist and Twirl which is a similar yarn. I'm finding it really boring.

 

Your scarf turned out really nice. I think I like that yarn a little better than the Bernat. I don't think mine will be that long though, its about 2 1/2 feet long now and I think I'm more than halfway through the yarn.

I've been away for a little while and have enjoyed going back and reading about everyone's projects. I found out my sister-in-law is having a girl and I was able to make her a blanket and matching booties while out of town. I also finished the camo afghan for her four year old and made a pair of booties with the extra yarn (not sure who they are for yet).

 

Booties with the orange are camo and hunter's orange.

I'm thinking of making a friend of mine a nice cozy blanket just for her....I made her DD one years ago, and now I think it's time for her.

Not sure of anything yet - color, pattern...:think The one thing I DO know, it won't be bright:lol Bright is my thing, not hers.:D

How nice! I'm sure whatever you come up with will be wonderful!!!

Thanks everyone,

 

The sunflower ghan is finished AND I even remembered to snap a picture :D I did, however, forget to measure it but I think it's about 40x48ish now.

 

So, without further ado.....

That looks fantastic!!!!!:clap
