Lucky Number 13

I saw a diagonally knit piece once. So, I decided I'd attempt to recreate that piece with some left over yarn.

I used US Size 6 needles and cast-on 24 stitches.

For row 1, K4, P4 until the end of the row.
For the 2nd row, I did the reverse of what I did on the front (So K4, P4).
For row 3, I shifted the pattern, I started with K3. Then P4, K4 until I was down to the last stitch, K1.
The 4th row reversed that (So start with P1, K4, P4.... P3).
I continued this until the yarn ran out!

Ten

Mom bought me the supplies for this scarf at a local store called Wildflower Yarns and Knitwear. I had a really difficult time starting it. I had to thread on a couple hundred beads then use a long-tail cast on method. I had no idea of what this was. When I finally figured it out, I managed to make sense of the rest of the directions and finish the scarf. It took me a good long time.

The 6th

This scarf is pretty cool. I'd wear it a lot more if it was longer. The coloring is due to a really neat yarn I got at Wal-mart. I did ribbing on this scarf, that makes it a really nice texture. I may make another one of these only longer.

Numéro Quatre

After over a year of not knitting or crocheting, I decided it was about time to pick up the knittles again. I created a short and stubby Halloween scarf. It was my first attempt at joining yarns. It wasn't a very good one. Having no right-wrong side to the scarf makes it look sloppy. Although it is festive.

Number 3

I believe this is my third item. This is also crocheted, turned out a bit neater than my previous attempt. I used an entire skein of super soft, awesome colored yarn and knit me one of my still-favorite scarves.

The Second Thing

This was my first attempt to crochet. Mom showed Jayme and I how over Christmas break. My efforts resulted in a short, K-State themed scarf. Jayme's resulted in a torn block of crocheting.
