Project Number Three- Starry- Starry Night....

This is the third scarf that I have made thus far.  It is made with black yarn- that has some spots of color every now and then.  It is my first attempt at anything other than straight knitting... and I used a simple ribbed pattern (kk-pp-kk etc). 


I know these photos aren't very good- but I actually really like the pattern of the scarf.  It is simple- and soft- with a nice pattern.  I should do something else in black in the future- maybe with a grey- white pattern...

Project Number Two- The Camo Scarf

This is the second item I ever started and finished on my own.  It is a simple knit scarf- with the only pattern coming from the color variations in yarn.  There were no color changes... and I kind of enjoy the simplicity of this project.  I know it is one of Ashley's favorites- as it matches her coat.

Project Number One- The Purple Scarf

I began this scarf on a whim one Friday night.  After an impromptu (and very expensive) trip to Michael's and a quick review of a few U-Tube tutorials I was on my way.  Or so I thought...

 Not only did I have to restart this scarf a few times, it is still a major wreck.  There are several holes where I dropped stitches.  There are also snags where I didn't understand how exactly to change colors.

In fact- I am not sure I even like this color combination.  However- this scarf stands out for one simple reason.  I started it on my own.  I figured out the pattern and I worked it through to the end.  Then I cast it off.  For the first time.  Ever.  Period.

So without further ado....
