I knitted a scarf for myself out of Lion Brand Fancy Fur recently which a couple of my co-workers admired. So I offered to make
them scarves, too. I'm even making two lightweight scarves for my co-workers in our LA office.
I'm more advanced with crochet, but working with novelty yarns is a great opportunity to improve my knitting skills. Eventually I'll be fully bi-craftal!
From top to bottom the yarns used are: Lion Brand Incredible ribbon yarn, the second scarf is made out of Lion Brand mohair yarn which has a gorgeous hand. Then the three at the bottom are all made with Fancy Fur. I didn't really use much of a pattern...the ribbon yarn scaf is simply sixteen stitches across and knitted entirely in garter stitch with size 13 needles. The mohair scarf was made with 20 stitches across with K4, P4 ribbing using size 10.5 needles. The Fancy Fur scarves were made in a stockinette stitch with size 13 needles.
After I finish these scarves I'll be working on finishing my first knitted sweater. Stay tuned!
