Scarf #115 December 11, 2011

Here's a scarf I crocheted using some left over Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted in colors Forest Green Heather and Fisherman.  With a beginning chain of 250, I alternated 3 rows of double crochet of each color.  Unfortunately, I didn't have enough yarn left to make a hat to go with this one.

Scarf #114 December 7, 2011

I usually don't like working with black (or other very dark) yarn because my eyesight isn't what it used to be!  But I really didn't have much trouble with this Deborah Norville Everyday soft worsted "black".  The pattern for this scarf (called the "Raf Scarf", designed by Anna Tirat-Gefen) can be found on Ravelry at this link.  I started with a beginning chain of 26.

Scarf #113 December 6, 2011

This is a very simple pattern.  I started with a beginning chain of 26 and alternated 2 rows of sc and 2 rows of dc, ending with 2 rows of sc.  The yarn I used was Caron worsted (pounder), color "Country Rose". 

Scarf #112 December 5, 2011

This is a great pattern I found on Ravelry designed by Megan Marshall, which is called "Acacia Scarf" (link HERE).  I changed the beginning chain to 260 instead of 236 to make the scarf a bit longer.  One important note:  be sure that your beginning chain is LOOSE - mine was a bit too tight and the scarf pulled a bit to the beginning chain side.

The yarn I used for this one is Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted, color "Wood".

Scarf #111 December 4, 2011

The pattern for this scarf, called the "Elemental Scarf" can be found on the Lion Brand web site at this link.  I adapted the pattern a little by starting with a beginning chain of 26 and by using a smaller hook (size H) which reduced the size of the holes.  The yarn I used is Red Heart Super Saver worsted, color "Grey Heather", which is a little darker than the Wool Ease color of the same name.

Scarf #110 December 3, 2011

This scarf and hat was crocheted using Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted, color "Cranberry".  The pattern I used is called "Anything But Drab Crocheted Scarf" which can be found at this link.  I adapted the pattern by using a beginning chain of 250, not starting Row 1 into the "bump" of the chain, and adding 2 more rows in the Row 5-9 section to make the scarf a bit wider.

Scarf #109 December 2, 2011

Here is a scarf and hat I crocheted using Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted, color "Grey Heather".  The pattern is called "Simple Textured Crochet Scarf", designed by Andrea Lyn Van Benschoten, which I found at this link.  I really like this pattern!  I started with a beginning chain of 26 to make the scarf a bit wider. 

Hats for Share House

I have been working on hats lately to use up some extra skeins of yarn I had lying around.  These hats will be delivered to the Share House of Vancouver, Washington, sometime this month before Christmas.

This donation is in memory of my father, Bill Bishop, who passed away 15 years ago today.  I really miss him and I always will.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
