Rib & Ruffles Scarf 02
This Scarf was so much fun to work on . Soft and squishy. This is the Misti Chunky Ribs and Ruffles Scarf pattern. I omitted the ruffles part. Free pattern. www.mistialpaca.com
I used Plymouth Encore yarn 2 skeins 0 in soft white (off white) and size 10.5 needles. I knit this till it was my height 5.5" - soaked and blocked. For my daughter.

My Constant Companion Bag
Here is the beginnings of my constant companion bag. I am using Cascade 220 in a brown and orange. I used up two skeins of the brown already - doubled - once you get past the base the rest is quick. Just haven't had time to work on it - I will be doing a slip st pattern on the whole bag. Wait and see! I am using size 11 needles.

I purchased 2 lbs of merino from a farm in CA - this stuff is gorgeous! I have washed some of it up in Dawn detergent and it is all dried and ready to be carded. I plan to do a 3-ply worsted weight. What to do with finished product - don't know.!!!
Just enjoying the process.

Here is the 8 oz of Dinosar all skeined after being soaked in a lavender wash.
One skein is different from all the rest as there was still some yarn left and so I had to wind it into a ball and ply on itself. It came out totally different . Colorway and the way it plied to itself. It is the one in the front of the photo - smallest skein

Here is 8 oz of Dinosar by Spunky Eclectic. I loved spinning this up. It is between sport and dk weight . Have no idea what I will use it for. I am contemplating a 24" Rigid Heddle loom so maybe I will use it to weave a scarf! Time will tell.

This is just gorgeous! I love the lacework on this and it works up very fast - I did all this in 2 nights, This is Garnstudio & Drops Designs.
Number 107-8 Spring/Summer 2008 all free patterns.

I am using Knitpicks Shine sport yarn in turquoise - so far I have used 3 skeins and I am up to the arm shaping - so maybe 4.5 skeins total. I am dong the Medium size on size 4 needles to get gauge.
In case you need to know - since I love details and have had a hard time with trying to get things to fit properly. I am size 40 bust and 37 waist - I have learned that I need to allow for negative ease on certain garments. I ususally make them huge - - I am also taking into account that this yarn has a little stretch to it . Previous top I made I had to redo two sizes smaller. So you can image - I was doing size 42" finished size and it was humungous! So do gauge swatch and figure in yarn type and ease (neg or positive) depending on garment fit.
Love it, I will be making another one in white!
