We made it

We just walked in the door from Indy. The drive was 8 hours so I'm a bit tired now. My controlling personality (some of you might not have known that :) ) wouldn't let anyone else drive.

I'm going to wind my new skein of yarn from Zen Yarn Garden and start knitting. It's a bit early for bed and we have lots of TV to catch up on.

There is a new pattern from Classic Elite for a scarf knit in Bella Lino.
Bella Lino is the perfect yarn for this multi-color scarf for warmer weather. Stitches are increased then dropped in the center of ribbed columns, creating lacy ladders. Exact gauge is not crucial to the success of this project – a looser gauge will make for an airier scarf and a tighter gauge will emphasize the ribbed stitches. Block the finished scarf for more even stitches (like our green sample) or leave unblocked for textural interest (like our purple sample).
Here are a few more options to make your Drop Stitch Scarf unique:
  • Sew the ends together for an infinity scarf that will easily wrap around twice.
  • Use 3 different shades of Bella Lino, working 24" from each ball, for a more colorful scarf.
  • Add fringe to ends with remaining yarn.

We have the yarn in the store and available on the website.

It's time to put my feet up and relax. Happy Tuesday. Hope you are making time to knit or crochet.
