Knitting Scarves

Wow...a post that's not about digital scrapbooking. Wasn't sure I'd get one out there but wanted to share some scarves I've been working on. I'm still a pretty basic knitter so they aren't fancy.

This one is done with a sparkly eyelash yarn. The colors are so pretty and there is a gold metallic sheen to it. Just your everyday plain basic garter stitch.


This next one is a combination of knit and purl to create the textured pattern. I think it's called a box stitch.And the last one I thought was a really cool design. You start with a certain amount of stitches...do plain garter stitches for a few rows then double your stitches and knit a few rows of stockinette and then decrease so you end up with a cool ruffled effect. I think I may try stepping out of my comfort zone with scarves and make a bag using this stitch. I think it would be a really pretty pattern for a bag.
