Coconut Milk Peekaboo Lace Scarf Pattern - FREE Knitting Pattern

This scarf was knit in March for a friends mom. She picked the colors and I made up a pattern to placate my designer side :). This design allows for a very dense scarf that can cover more area when stretched out, and then you get to see the openwork peek through! The body (or cream colored yarn in this case) is the inverse of the border pattern. If you like you can work the whole scarf in either the border or the body pattern if desired. The changing of the pattern on the ends adds a little extra something. :)

Chunky Bobble Knit Scarf

Here is the next project in the works - using Caron Simply Soft  color IRIS. This color is HARD to photograph! The purple is very vivid which makes it fun to work with but to try and capture on the camera at night? Not so much... I'd say Iris is probably a morning color ;)

I was off to a rough start tonight - the scarf needs to be 100 inches in length and it needs to be done soon. I'm holding two threads throughout because when I originally started with just one, I was making an inch an hour kind of progress... um, no bueno! After working smarter and not harder ;) I wanted to share the over all progress I made tonight after a few false starts. I think we are well on our way and I'm having fun! :) Which is important right? Why do it if you're not having fun, jes? :) 

I hope you like the picture - though not a true representation of the color (its beautiful I assure you! :)) I at least can show you the texture - and the BOBBLES - the delicious bobbles! They make me happy what can I say? :) I'll share again soon!

***UPDATE: Pattern is free - clicke here.***

Best, Dawn

Knitting Scarves to Infinity!

...and beyond! :)

Just kidding ^-^ but I've done a few infinity scarves in the past few weeks and one I'm still not sure it will be added to the shop or not but I'm sharing photos here of the fruits of my labor. I hope you like them. ;) My sister and I had fun with the shutter feature on the camera :) She's so nice to be my model :)

Fast and Furious Lacy Scarf - with FREE Pattern

I like to knit through the back loop when knitting. This is something I discovered I did when I'd try a pattern and end up making the finished item much too tight. I knit continental (vs. english style) too for what its worth :). At any rate I recently tried out a pattern and while working up the pattern wondered to myself if this scarf would turn out quite different from the photos of other scarves I've seen using this stitch or not. I'm 3/4 of the way done with the scarf and realize knitting through the back loop only makes all the difference and am now able to share the pattern with you because of my knitting laziness lol :). 

The scarf works up quickly, so keep this pattern in your back pocket if you need to make a last minute gift for someone!

The stitch is worked in multiples of two. For this specific scarf I casted on 26 stitches and worked it until I almost ran out of yarn (leaving enough to FO and weave in the ends).

What you will need:

-         Any size needles you want to use

-         As much yarn as you want to use up! :)

Gauge does not matter – this pattern is meant to be fun – go wild! :)

Worked in Multiples of 2 – cast on an even number of stitches and remember to WORK THROUGH BACK LOOP ONLY (tblo) for all stitches. Also, abbreviation YO equates to Yarn Over.

          Row 1: K1(tblo), *YO, K2tog (tblo)* repeat to end, K1(tblo).

Repeat this row over and over again until you’ve reached the desired length and bind off.

Once you get going, if you have any issues I recorded this video to help you out. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any issues though. I'm here to help!

Voila! There you have it! I hope you and your friends enjoy! :) Would love to see your finished designs! I’m on ravelry too as Cranberrry if you would like to share!

Ashes...and Wine

I present:   Ashes... and Wine

I had a lot of fun with these pictures too - I really like how they turned out. You never know what setting will peak someones interest and make them come into a listed item as they are perusing your shop... so variety is good :) 

I've been busy!

Last weekend I supported my husband by spending a day in a rather large garage with him and a bunch of their guys who wanted to get their mitts on an antique shelby cobra. While I knew we would be there a while since we were reconnecting with the car owner after not seeing him for about 5 years I didn't realize we'd spend about 8 hours sitting around as moral support (!). But I had thought ahead and packed projects to keep my hands busy while there :)

I made a lot of progress on this scarf and later in the week finished it :)

This is my youngest sister modelling the scarf for me :) She is so gracious to let me do this! That and I think she is so adorable in this picture I'm more than happy to share it with you! :)

The above pictures are ones I took the same night I finished the scarf - on the desk of my white room by the lamp light, thank God for photo editing websites :). 

Since finishing this scarf I've made two others... both primarily during yesterday's roadtrip to see the hubby's dad... one on one time with the mister for 4 hours each way and some crochet time, what more can a girl ask for? :)

I'll share the cowls shortly!!

Classy Crochet Scarf in Real Teal Yo!

 My parents and older sister from Iowa came to visit this weekend, so I had some tv and driving time to crochet :) I originally was looking for a pattern to knit this yarn with...

For real this is made from Real Teal! :) A beautiful teal from Red Heart Solids and I simply could not pass it up! I eventually found a worth while pattern that was textured and had some pretty edging. I changed the pattern a bit so the edging was more to my liking and here you have it :)

***UPDATE*** - for those of you without a ravelry account - here is my variation of the edges:

slst in 1st sc in the row, ch 3, skip one sc, hdc in 2nd sc, ch1 repeat to end of row.

sc in last ch of row, ch 3, sl st in 1st sc made sc 3, ch3, slst in last sc made repeat to end.
