Scarf knitting
eta: for those going “where did this come from?…I accidently posted it as “private” instead of “public”
The knitting I haven’t been able to post until now.
This isn’t everything…I forgot to photograph two of the scarves…Joy (was made with the Caron Cozi in “Blue Jeans”) & Steve’s (was the same Bohemian yarn as the one pictured, but a slightly narrower/longer scarf since he is so tall). On the needles currently is a scarf for my maternal grandma with some of the most infuriating yarn I have ever encountered (cha-cha), and a hat with earflaps for Dad out of the Paton’s Bohemian (on the needles currently). I will be making scarves for my Mom, Zach, and Aunt Pauline as soon as those are done. Oh, yeah, and a Rasta Hat for Kaz someplace in there too…need to order some specially dyed yarn for that. Mom is also wanting a vest, and I am wanting to make Zane an Easter sweater vest, then a whole bunch of cotton summer knitting for all of Zane’s cousins & Gabe (Jesse & Kaz’s son)…that is about 5 things…3 boys, 2 girls, and then another for Zane of whatever I make. I don’t even know what I am going to do yet, but I want to make them all something small at least. Ok..well that should take me to next Christmas knitting. lol. Somehow the idea of matching sweaters for Zach, Zane and I for next Christmas is looking a little far reaching when I read all that out.
Anyway, here are the photos.
Paton’s Bohemian “Beatnik Blues” in Garter stitch (on left of above photo)
This is a beautiful yarn and perfect for a lot of guys in my life. It has tan, dark burgandy brown, medium brown, and a light blue that matches the eyes of a number of the people I am making scarves for. It is great because it would match about any jacket in the tan-brown-black or blue coloring…the majority of men’s jackets. It is wonderfully thick and soft and warm too. I wish it came in more colors because I would use it even more, expecially because it knits up pretty quick. Maybe they will expand their line. It is even washable. yeah!

I really like this yarn…very soft and great colors. Joy’s scarf was like this except denim blue. The other photo has another scarf in this yarn too.
Second batch
Bernat Galaxy “Venus” in Garter Stitch (on right in above photo)
beautiful yarn, fairly soft & silky, somewhat more challenging to work with, but not as bad as that “cha cha” stuff.
Caron Cozi in “Popourri” in Garter Stitch (on left side of above photo)
the photo doesn’t really do it justice…it is a medium plum purple color with gold & copper highlights.
