Ed's "Broken Rib"

Lou is wearing Ed's scarf that I knit using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarns in "Spice" and size 10 /2 needles.

It's a knit 4, purl 2 rib that is broken every fourth row with 2 rows of garter stitch. It looks great.

George's Scarf

I'm modeling George's scarf because he wouldn't. He was annoyed that I didn't get it done in October, but I made it with a cable stitch which took a long time. The scarves I make for men always take a long time to make.
I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand(R) Wool-Ease Yarns and size 8 needles. It's a simple four by four cable, but it took me a long time to figure out what I was doing. This was my first cable knitting in over 40 years.

I enjoyed doing it and plan to do more.

Fancy Fur for Wini

Megan is modeling Wini's scarf - finished only a week late for her birthday.

It's a simple garter stitch knit that alternates Lion Brand(R) Fancy Fur Yarn in "Tropical Turquoise" and Moda-Dea(TM) Gleam Yarn in "Blue Topaz".

I used size 12 neeedles, a bit small for the Fancy Fur and a bit large for the Gleam, but it worked.

Sandi's Very Green Scarf

I knit this scarf in garter stitch on size 13 needles with three yarns:
Lion Brand(R) Fancy Fur Yarn - "Spring Garden"

Moda-Dea(TM) Kickx Yarn from Moda Dea in "Swish"

and Lion Brand(R) Fun Fur Yarns - New Colors in "Lime".

A three yarn stripe is easy as pie : Cast on with the first yarn. Knit one row with the second yarn. Knit second row with third yarn. Continue to alternate until the scarf is completed.

We are all pleased with the results.

Learning Intarsia

This scarf is knit in stockinette stitch on size 10 1/2 needles. I used one skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarns and small quantities of various fancy yarns that I've used in other projects. Lynn really likes her scarf.

I didn't have any yarn bobbins, and it was really difficult keeping my yarns untangled. Since I've finished this I've learned a little trick. Use zip lock bags for the small balls of yarn. Cut a hole just large ebough for the yarn to go through and keep the bag closed. Bobbins are probably better, but this helps a lot. There is a snack sized bag that is perfect for a small amount of yarn.


This is the chart I used from The Knitting Stitch Bible by Maria Parry-Jones . It's based on 16 stitches. I doubled it.

Mary's Shawl

This is so easy. I used size 10.5 needles and four skeins of Lion Brand(R) Homespun Yarns. The color is Colonial Blue.

Cast on 2 stitches.
Knit first row.
YO at the beginning of every row.
Knit every row until three skeins are used up. Bind off.

You will have a large triangle with lacey holes on the edge.

Use the fourth skein to preapre fringe. Fringe is attached to the lacey holes on the edge.
