well goodness, look at my wrist, i got to go

1. I fail at keeping up with things. Hence the ridiculously long time since my last post.
2. I'm cheating on Austen and Gaiman with Pratchett.
and c. what in the name of Merlin's pants does one knit/crochet in the summer.
I know, there's so many things. But summer. Summer. I feel weird burred under balls of wool while I stick to my sofa.

No more hats till fall. I swear.

1 hook, 2 scarves

See? I did what I said and finished writing out the pattern. Huzzah!

Shire Scarf:
It's on Ravelry... and Etsy


Foundation: chain 200. This is for a short scarf, you can add
more or less if you want a different length scarf.

Row 1: sc into 2nd chain from hook and every other found. chain

Row 2: chain 3, make puff stitch into 4th chain from hook,
*chain 1, skip stitch, make puff stitch into next
stitch* repeat from *

Row 3: Chain 3, make puff stitch in the stitch between the
first two puff stitches from the previous round,
*chain 1, skip stitch, make puff stitch into the next
stitch* repeat from * making sure you're puffs are
between the previous rounds puffs

Row 4-6: Repeat round 3.
You can choose to make the scarf wider by repeating the 3rd
round as many times as desired.

Final round: Chain 1, sc into every stitch. break yarn and
weave in any ends.



Yellow Brick Road Scarf:
It's also on Etsy... ...soon to be on Ravelry


Foundation: chain 200. Guage isn't important so you can add
or remove stitches for a different length scarf.

Row 1: Hdc into the 2nd chain from hook and every found. chain

Row 2: Chain 4, dc into the 5th chain from hook, *chain 1,
skip stitch, dc into the next stitch*, repeat from *
Row 3 & 4: Chain 2, Hdc into the 3rd chain from hook and every stitch

Row 5-9: Repeat Rd 2-4. This will make 3 panels of dc's and 2
repeats of hdc's. You can repeat the pattern for a wider
scarf if you want, ending with row 2
Final round: Chain 1, sc into every stitch. break yarn and
weave in any ends.



Also.....I'm offering free shipping for December at my Etsy shop. I'm also going to try adding new things every week. Yes, I'm being so ambitious in December. Maybe becuase I'll be a quarter of a century old on the 22nd...who knows.

I went all the way to Mordor and all I got was this scarf

I made up some crocheted patterns. One more reason why I love crocheting....you can just make it up as you go along (usually). Though with this new discovery, I just might become addicted to making crocheted scarves.

Lothlorian Scarf (pattern available at Ravley!) and I'm thinking of making a shawl version too.




Shire Scarf (haven't written up the pattern yet, but will!) may make a hat too.

Three of a Kind...Hats

I made these a while back but the blog is new, so I had to share!
