Cream of Spinach Scarf


Ok so I am in love with this pattern, the Cream of Spinach scarf! It's by Stitch Marker's Larissa Brown and it is a really lovely, yet challenging, pattern. You can check out her on rav and her blog as well as find the pattern on both of the linked pages. Also it makes those awesome points at the bottom all on its own. Also if any help on the pattern just check out the DK group here. Hope everyone has a great week and happy knitting!!! Also I hope everyone has a great Easter! *even if it's only for the awesome cookies and cadbury eggs!!*
Love,
Ditzy

It's about time!



It has been a LONG time since I last posted anything. I apologize for that, between school and work and getting engaged I have had almost no time for anything! I haven't been able to do as much knitting as I'd like but I thought I'd share a pattern and a neat yarn my fiance's mom got me.
First off, the pattern! This Taos cabled scarf, from Crystal Palace Yarns, is pretty fun and provides a nice challenge.

Just a note on this pattern, try and knit loosely because it's easy for this pattern to turn out way to stiff, like my first attempt did*pictured above*

Ok Second,

So I wanted to share this crazy yarn I got. It's from red heart and it's called "Pomp a doodle" and its little pre made pom poms. Looks like the only thing you can really do with it is make a scarf but it's fun to use, picture on the right.

Well thats all for me this week. Thanks for putting up with the long break folks.
Happy Knitting,
Ditzy
