A Simple Scarf

So for my first knitted project. A good friend, Mugsy, on my vanna fan club board gave me this simple scarf pattern to work on to help become more comfortabe with the the knit and purl stitches...
Here is what I've done so far ... I'm using vanna chocie seaspray yarn.

The Cast On

Well 2011 is (was) going to the mark the year to learn to knit... BUT I could not wait...
I received a RAK book called stitch and bitch and I started reading , which in turn, fueled my wanting to knit even more so I picked up some knitting needles and gave it a try... So far I have learned a few things:
1) I'm a English style knitter
2) My grandmother taught me the knit stitch

So I know how to cast on, knit stitch, purl stitch and bind off.... Now just to prefect these stitches a bit more and then I'll attempt a easy pattern...
Here are some pictures of my first attempts

Picture one: my knit stitch

This 2nd picture is my purl stitches.. as you can see I got off track when the baby woke up from his nap and I set this down but I was quickly able to get back on track...

A very Vanna Thanksgiving

After several months of swaping all over Canada and the USA ... 12, 12 inch blocks have been swapped to create this afghan that inspired by Thanksgiving and fall colours....
A perfect gift for my RV loving Sister and brother in law..

finished cowl

Here is a picture of the finished cowl...
I started one before our vacation but I made a mistake in the pattern and forgot the twist.... because I'm not a ripper outter .. I just finished that one and made it a scarf and started over.. this was my 2nd attempt at the pattern and I was able to get the twist in it... Because I ran out of this yarn its a bit smaller then it should be but still nice...

Candy From Sweden

I was in a recent Candy swap.. My partner was from Sweden.. Check out some of the yummy candy that was sent to me and some really great sock yarn too!!!!!!!!

cowl

Here is a project I am working on... the Icelandic Cowl.. I am using some wonderful knit picks yarn I was gifted called  Palette in Edamame and Forest Heather.. This is a fingering weight yarn.. It seems very thin and delicate to use but the end product is turning out wonderful.. Just wanted to give a quick update before we head off to Disney... This is my airplane project... If there is any crafting time to be had...
