The 12 scarves of 2009 - links and info in post #1

[Misa]

Hello all, I would like to jump in and do an October scarf. I'm new to the forum and a fairly new crocheter so it won't be fancy. I'm doing a long striped one working in back loops only to get a flat ribbed look.

 

Welcome to the group! Sounds like it'll be a great scarf to me Can't wait to see it!

Welcome aboard Carol. Any scarf is welcome in these parts. I look forward to your pics.

I had some idea that Oct.'s flower was the chrysanthemum but was pleased to find out that the marigold is on the list. but I am dreaming of those Mums for Nov.

 

Here are my marigolds :

 

 

I have to finish up a hand towel for a bazaar but then I will begin my leaves scarf in autumn colours. I'll get that posted as soon as I can

grannyannie, i love that scarf! Can you share your pattern or suggest how it can be made also.

 

Thanks!

Hi! I'm sorry that I just saw this. I just got up the courage to post the pattern in the free pattern section! It's called Annie's Easy Scarf. It's my first written pattern so please if you make it let me know if there are any mistakes! Thank you!

Another beautiful scarf Darski!!!

[grannyannie]

I stayed with my regular pattern, but went with pink since Oct is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I wanted to honor the brave women in my family that have faced this horrible disease. I wish the picture would have come out better. The scarf is really pretty. This is the first time I did this pattern using 2 strands.

 

[darski]

very pretty granny. Love that colour.

 

I have been thinking of knitting another of the Knitty BC scarves - guess I should get that done soon if I mean to do so.

[Atiyah]

I'm still working on my scarf How did October get here so fast? Hopefully it'll be done late today or tomorrow

OK, I'm poking my head in here a minute for the express purpose of telling you guys that you are a BAD INFLUENCE. Yep. Being in Seattle, I have never been bitten by the scarf bug, since we only use super warm winter coats sporadically. So I innocently wander in here just to see what y'all have been up to, and where do I wind up before the evening is over? Surfing Rav's crochet scarf section! Yowsers!! I have a couple of wool sweaters that I am recycling for their sockweight, dyable wool that is now just dying (HA) to be turned into lovely, lacey scarves. I also have a bucketload of cheap ebay sportweight chenille that needs to be used up, since my several attemtps at making ghans with it has killed my hands. A scarf at a time should be just about right. Guys, this is a definite problem here- I have never been a scarf wearer since I tend to get too hot. What is a girl to do?

Darski,

 

Are you going to be hosting this CAL next year?

[darski]

Darski,

 

Are you going to be hosting this CAL next year?

 

Well I hadn't really thought of that. I can do so of course if people want to continue.

 

I really saw this as a one year cycle of scarves. If someone else would like to take this on in 2010 I would be happy to participate and see what new events in life would change a month's focus.

[darski]

The pink Breast Cancer scarf is so quick and easy to knit and therefore to gift to survivors or family members that it is a favourite of mine. I once made 9 of these in 2 weeks to give to a group of BC survivors. I am sure God has someone in mind for this one as well.

 

 

 

the other scarf, though it is rather dark in the pic, shows the Autumn colours of the yarn I am using for another Falling leaves scarf.

I would be happy to take this CAL on next year. I didn't keep up this year since I was still learning to crochet and slow. Now I am speedy crocheter. My husband thinks I am an intermediate crocheter.

That is just wonderful to hear. The primary driving force of the Ville is that we can grow and learn in our art.

 

Totally double wow on you!!!

 

And thank you for taking this next year. I do enjoy taking our lives and times and translating that into stitches and colours.

The pink breast cancer scarf is gorgeous! Is that your own pattern? If so can you share the pattern?

yeah... we are so bad that way

 

Scarves are great to make even if you never wear them

 

One thing I have found - and we get coooold weather - is that if I wear a small scarf in cool weather, I don't need a coat. Keeping my neck warm keeps all of me warm. I really don't like being bound up in a coat so I am in favour of anything that helps be avoid a coat.

 

Funny thing is that Knitting daily was just about how a nice sweater jacket was all you needed in Seattle. just an interesting juxtaposition of posts

 

Glad you have joined us

Thanks Crystal. It's my own pattern I call it Annie's Easy Scarf and I posted it in the free pattern section a couple of days ago!
