September Craft Along - Week Two

I think I have some yarn that may be perfect for the loom one!

I need to get started on the sashay one this evening.

forgot to add I am doing the 6 stitch version of the redheart pattern

I have some red yarn I bought to make myself a scarf, but I only have one skein, darn! this calls for 2 strands at a time.

CTC, You can roll it into two balls and make it shorter. You can also make shorter loops, or even not do loops every row.

Actually, Colleen, I've working on it while watching a movie. I have less than a ball and it's pretty long already.

Thats good Lisa! So could I unravel the ball and then use both ends at the same time without trying to find the middle?

You can do that. I just find that sometimes the insides are messy, so I usually make it into two balls to make it easier.

I used less than a ball and it was over five feet.

For scarf #1, I'm doing the ten stitch version.

I also found another style of wool which is a little different. Instead of knitting every two holes, you knit every two inches. I've done this one and it's really pretty. Here's the link for the product..

And I figured out that for Scarf #2, I used Bernat Boucle.

ooooooooo!!! pretty yarn!!!

It does look different from the redheart version. But it looks like it would be easier to work with?

The only problem is that you have to figure out two inches, and I couldn't be bothered measuring, so it didn't work out very evenly. It is really nice yarn to work with, but the inside does snag quite easily.

I just did scarf one with ten stitches, but it's a little too short. I wonder what eight stitches would be like.

I am really slow at knitting. Especially since I have to keep stopping to rub my shoulder. But scarf #1 is finished. Trying to talk myself into dragging out the camera for pictures.

That's awesome, Dawn!

I finished one using ten stitches, but I'm going to rip it out and do it with either six or eight.

Ect why couldn't you use another contrating yarn with it? bet it would make a pretty one.

Dawn they can be crocheted. There is a video on red heart yarn showing how to.

I have crocheted with this yarn as well, if you're interested. I don't know if that affects the size, though.

I need to check out youtube... I am faster with a crochet hook than the knitting needles and I got another order for one today!

it has you chain five then go back and sc in each of the five chain then chain five more and sc in the chain. Any way that is what Igot. let me know if you find something different out.

that is what the pattern I read said as well.... you should have heard/seen the video from this computer... I have a mild headache now, LOL!

I've posted the crochet pattern link for anyone else who doesn't knit. Sorry, I meant to do it before and I forgot.

I've got one done, using eight stitches. It still goes around the neck well, but has a little more width for those who don't like skinny scarves.

I'll try to post pics tonight.

I really need to get started on the second scarf you posted here. But the sashay scarves are taking up all my time.... They stopped being fun after the 4th one, LOL!

Here are some pictures of the scarves I made.

These are two versions of scarf #1. The red one is with six stitches and the cream one is with eight.



And this is scarf #2, using less than one ball. I think I might have misread the instructions because it's longer than I expected.

I don;t know what I like more... the scarves or the models

Thanks, Dawn. I think Patricia's ready to go back to bangs.

The cream scarf is the Patons Twist and Turns or whatever it's called. It doesn't have holes like Sashay, so you knit every two inches.
