Knitted Scarf

I really want to knit scarves to match my new blazers.  I'm not a good knitter so what ever I do must be easy.

I found this pattern online called Condo Stitch and OMG, it was so easy and so fast to do!  

You knit with two different sized needles at one time.  

The instructions called for size 9 and size 35 needles but I couldn't find a size 35 without searching all over.  I picked size 6 and size 19.

I used this yarn because I was fascinated by it!  Recycling plastic bottles?

I picked Forest Floor for this one and started knitting.  All you do is knit every row but use the different size needles for every row.  Start out by knitting the first row with the smaller needle and then the next row is the larger needle, back to the smaller one etc.  This was the end result:

I was able to make it very long so I can wear it doubled over and still had a lot of yarn left over from the one skein.  Inexpensive, easy and a great look, doesn't get much better than that!

Taking a break from my finds...

Does this just look like a mass of moldy moss?

Well, the first day of my trip, I stopped at The Craft Warehouse, which is always a mistake! Like I need more paper or more projects.

I saw this yarn and had to have it. I purchased two skeins and knitting needles and headed for the hotel.

The first evening, I was over halfway done with the scarf. I was in love. The second day of my trip, I went back to the craft shop and purchased two more colors.

I finished the first scarf the second evening and immediately started the second one.

This yarn is amazing! It has the feel of cashmere and you just want to bury your face in it!

The first scarf went the second my friend saw it, the second one is for a birthday present.

I have one more color to do, a Faded Jeans color and can't wait to get to it!
