I Love Swap Partners and the Mail

So this morning I got my glass grinder back via FedEx.  It went out last week to be repaired and I have it back in working order.  This afternoon I got my package from KnidiotinHavre.  She spoiled me rotten.  Look below and you'll see all that I got.

Packages Coming in

THe latest round of International Scarf Swap is wrapping up and scarves are arriving to their new homes.  I got one today From h2oPaws.  It's a beautiful crocheted shawlette in beautiful fall colors.  I also got a nice shell, calendar, and ball of 100% silk yarn.

My roommate got a beautiful entrelac scarf from Summer-Cat on Monday.  It came with a beautiful hank of yarn.

Winging It

I have a new scarf pattern that I love.  I made it up at the end of last week.  I couldn't find a pattern I liked for the yarns I was working with and decided to just "Wing It" hence the name of the pattern.

With Yarn "A" Chain 252 or desired even amount.

Row 1: DC in second ch from hook and in each ch to end, ch2 turn

Row 2: With Yarn "B" DC in first DC  from hook, chain 1, skip 1 DC, and DC in next DC. Repeat across,  DC in final DC.   ch2 turn

Row 3:  Skip first DC and DC in first chain-one space of previous row, chain 1, DC in next chain-one space and repeat across.  DC in space between turning chain and the first DC of the previous row.  Chain 2 and turn.

 Repeat Row 3 until desired width (I did 4 times).

Last row:  Go back to Yarn "A" DC in all DC and chain-one spaces.  Tie off at end and weave in ends

I Failed to take a photo before packing this scarf off to go to it's recipient, but hope to get a photo eventually.  If you make this I would love to see your creations.
