I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.

The Three Yarn Stripe
This is so easy and so wonderful looking. It's just garter stitch done with three different yarns. Start a different yarn at the end of each row. I used 2 balls of CiCi Yarn from Patons in Brazil blue, 2 balls of Moda dea Kickx in Karma, and 1 skein of Homespun from Lion Brand in Colonial.
I worked it on size 12 needles.
Cast on 18 stitches and garter stitch till the scarf is about 74 inches long, alternating the three yarns on every row.
I'm going to try this technique with a lot of different yarns.
When I finish the scarf project I want to use this technique for a vest.
