Something blue

This infinity scarf is a beauty. I did find the mohair yarn a pain to knit with but the end result was worth it. It took about 1 1/2 skeins of Cascade Kid Seta.

I thought Morgan might want to wear it for her wedding. If you follow the Ravelry link below you will see how gorgeous it looks as a shawl.


It is called "Mohair Bias Loop" by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas. You can see and purchase it on Ravelry. 


To give it a real infinity look the ends are grafted -- at first very loose and then you go back and tighten it up. It was not difficult but very time consuming. I estimate 3-4 hours

Socks

Socks are so much fun especially when people ask for them because they like them. It also gives you a chance to try new ideas, a different cuff, a new heel, using yarn creatively. These socks were made for Christmas 2013, all with worsted Encore yarn and Yankee Knitter classic sock pattern.
