Finished Object- Red Sea Scarf

Image
By
I started this scarf while relaxing during the holiday at a resort on the Red Sea and finished it just a few days after my return.  I bought a really nice variegated brown and tan cotton yarn several months ago at a local yarn shop and I think this was the perfect project for it.  I have been wearing this scarf ever since I fastened off and weaved in the ends.  It has recently become chilly in Cairo and the added warmth around my neck is welcome.  This scarf is light enough to be worn during warmer months as well. It is just a simple Chevron lace stitch so the project was mindless and easy to do while lounging on the beach.

Cheers,

    The shawl looks beautiful. The easiest projects are the most loved sometimes. Have a nice weekend. Regula

    I love the colour! I imagine that chilly in Cairo may not be the same as chilly in the uk though...

    Love the colors of the scarf and that you took it by the swimming pool. I'm learning to like cotton. I think the few projects I've used it with should have had larger needles so I fought the yarn too much.

    Cute. I'm trying to imagine "chilly in Cairo". We've just been remarking how mild our weather is because we're above zero :)

    Chilly in Cairo...well it has been in the mid 40s to mid to upper 50s F (7-15 degrees C)... certainly not freezing, but colder than one might expect. When we visited the Red Sea the pool was heated so the kids and my husband went for a swim, but it was too cold for me to get in the pool even though the daytime temperatures were warmer than it is in Cairo now.

Spring Break Frisbee

By
I created this pattern while sitting next to the campfire during spring break. I made several of them... they didn't take anytime at all. I found that a 100% cotton yarn like Lily's sugar and cream or the Walmart Peaches and Cream yarn worked best. On some attempts I used a slightly higher quality cotton yarn and found that the finished product was not as stiff and therefor didn't fly as well...they still worked great, however, so by all means use what you have. I haven't tried making this pattern with any other type of yarn although I'm sure it would work great. These frisbees are great indoors or out. Size K crochet hook 2 balls of worsted weight yarn (100% cotton dish cloth quality works best) tapestry needle Round 1: Holding 2 strands together and using the K hook use the magic ring method to SC 6 into the ring. Round 2: 2 SC into each of the 6 stitches (12 st) Round 3: *SC into next SC, 2 SC into next SC* repeat around (18 st) Round 4: *SC into next 2 SC, 2 ...

New Pattern: Mini Flyer

By
This is simply a smaller version of my Spring Break Frisbee . I wanted to make something small that would fit into medium size geocache containers and yet still fly. This is what I came up with. You can use two strands of any worsted weight yarn. I made my sample projects with cotton, but feel free to experiment with other fibers. This cute little flyer fits into the palm of your hand and can still fly as far as it's big brother. It is a fast little project... and if your dog won't fetch it... it would make a fine beret for a smaller breed. You can make this in a single color by holding two strands of the same color together, but I prefer the look of two color. It is also an excellent way to remove the cob webs from those hard to reach corners... just aim and let it fly! For this project you'll need: Size K hook 2 worsted weight yarns. Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends Round 1: Holding 2 strands together and using the K hook use the magic ring method to SC 6 int...
