Full view of scarf |
I started this blog several years to make a record of some of the things that I have stitched whether it be knit, sewing or cross stitch. I also like to come up with ideas for gifts for family members. I also have included some of my writing but not all of it. Just a little rambling sometimes. When I was a child I loved to visit my great aunt in Somerset Kentucky. So many wonderful memories come back when I think of that time.

Dr Who Scarf complete
I made this Dr Who scarf for a family member. I had over 60 hours of just knitting in the finished product. I am waiting to see pics of the wearer once the weather gets cold enough. I knitted this using Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I know that I could have picked a high end wool but when I am knitting for something to be worn by everyday and to be washed quite often I prefer the acrylic yarn.
At the request of a family member I found this pattern on Ravelry and completed for a birthday present for her daughter. Once they received the package, her mother was so excited she couldn't wait for the birthday to open the box and gift it to her daughter. They were very pleased with the scarf. I used a tubular cast on to start the project. Then Kitchener stitch to bind off. I have since found another idea for double knitting and am working on a Pokémon scarf for my grandson
