Works in Progress Update 1

Okay! This first piece is my first crochet scarf I've ever worked on. I got the yarn and the needle from my friend Laura and from there she taught me how to crochet. I'm not sure if this piece is for someone else or for me, but due to its quality it may be for me.



The next piece is a gray scarf that I'm making for my friend Aubrey. It is my first time experimenting with knit and purl stitches. For each row I knit two and purl two until I get to the end and it creates a nice ribbed like pattern.


I am thoroughly enjoying the way this scarf is turning out and am excited for its final product.

Maybe an update or a finished piece soon.

Second Scarf - For Megan

This is an extremely late Christmas present for one of my best friends named Megan. It took me much longer than expected to make this scarf (and a lot of the time I was not actively knitting it) and thus it is two months after Christmas and I'm sending this just today.


For this scarf I used a regular knit stitch and just tied bits of yarn to the ends of the scarf to create the dangling bits. Yay!

The next post will be a progress post on the two projects I'm currently working on. 8]

First Scarf - For Joyce

This is the first scarf I've completed and it was for a family friend of mine named Joyce. She had very recently lost her husband and as a Christmas present I made her this scarf. It is a bit short, but she loved it. I wanted to give it to her to remind her that even though someone in her life had gone, she could stay warm with all the friends and loved ones still in her life.


This is a picture of me wearing the scarf with pure joy on my face. This is, after all, the first scarf I've finished.

There will be a number of other things posted every once in a while but seeing as I'm a slow knitter/crocheter there may be long periods of time where I don't post. If I feel as if it has been too long, I will post my progress on the current scarf or object I am working on.
