More Christmas Gifts

A lot of posts all at once, yessir. That's what I'm up to... mostly because I have been working ever so hard on my knitting and the like that I haven't had time to blog... and now I do. :)

Right, so my youngest sister was asking for an eternity scarf and a redo of her legwarmers (from Love to Knit) in basic black. (The legwarmers thing is a terrible story - when I was JUST learning how to knit, I made her a pair of legwarmers in white and pink, tres cute. However, I brought her with me to the store to pick out yarn. I didn't know the first thing about knitting and how important the yarn you select is for the project, etc. Well, the first pair of legwarmers are absolute crap. *sigh*.)

Legwarmers - in basic black - stylish.

Anyhow, so a friend of mine was doing a cute neck warmer / infinity scarf thing that she'd found on Pickles and I LOVED the pattern, but I wanted a longer, more dangly form of infinity scarf, so I adjusted until I had a pattern that was more suited to my project, which is as follows:

Scarf detail

Using a bulky yarn (5) and US size 11 (8 mm) needles

co 23 using the provisional cast on method
(RS) Row 1: k2, yo *sl1, k2, psso both knit stitches, yo* Rep from * to * until last 3 sts, ssk, k1
(WS) Row 2: k2, p to last 2 sts, k2

Rep 2 rows until desired length is reached ending on RS row.
Graft the live stitches on the ends together.

WOO!

The scarf looks really nice on.  YAY!

And if you're wondering what's up with all my headless models... that's the only way they'd model for me... if I didn't include their heads. :)
