One day short of a week, hours watching movies, I’ve finished knitting, washing and blocking the Feather n Fan scarf !

Really love the effect of the increase and decrease of stitches creating the lacy waves. It is a very easy pattern to memorize….no looking at the chart or pattern ,no stitch markers nor row counters!

Ready to be wrapped. It’s a gift for a friend.

This is a four row pattern. Very easy. Loving the lacy look of it!  Got the pattern via Ravelry.

I Got Bitten by the Knitting Bug !

 

When I knit,  I like  to pull the end of the ball from the center as it keeps the ball neater.

Have you ever had problem getting the end out? I tried both sides but it just won’t budge!  This ball of yarn is very compact… I had a hard time even to put in my fingers!

In the end , I just rip out the paper and start knitting .

I combined some stitches from different projects and came up with this. Not done with it yet. I think I will add some lacy edging. What do you think?

I love this yarn. Lives up to its name…Smoothie.

For beginner knitters, I recommend  textured yarn. It’s all garter stitch here. Good practice for your knit stitch!

I love this. The yarn is so smooth and silky. It’s Razzle Textures.

Looks like seaweed, eh? It’s actually a darker shade than in this photo.

 

 

 

Psst , if you like my pink scarf, I’ll e-mail you the pattern.
