Knitting--where has the time gone
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Knitting

How can 3 weeks go so fast?  I have had plenty of fiber things going on.  All I have time to tell you about today is my latest scarf pattern called Faux-hard Two-fer scarves.  I'm teaching a class tomorrow at Wild Purls in Billings and then heading off to my Prairie Handspinners meeting.  I need to check how many students in my class and then load up two drum carders.  Our guild dyed a bunch of fleece at our last meeting in the MAWS 2010 conference colors Under the Rims Rust and Under the Rims Teal. Tomorrow we are carding and creating blends.  Then each of us will spin up some yarn and use it for projects in our guild booth we plan for the conference.

My newest pattern includes two easy to knit patterns with options for different size yarns. Reversibility! Scarf  looks almost the same on both sides although each row is different.  I hand-dyed this DK weight wool yarn. 

Seed Stripes combines seed and stockinette stitch in a very easy pattern.  Both sides of Seed Stripe are attractive, but not the same. This yarn is a DK weight alpaca and feels so good.  It matches a hat, I haven't gotten around to photo yet which is another story and another design process to blog about.  I knit this is June, but no time to finalize the pattern yet.

The pattern includes some ideas about striping patterns in scarves to use with either scarf.  I have just a few rows left (and lots of ends to work end) version of Reversibility which uses Pagewood sock bites.  All for now.  I have to take some mohair out the dyepot and put it out to dry in time for the guild blending session.  Linda
