So here they are! The scarves I knit up for my two school girls to wear this year. It was so refreshing to knit a couple of quick and easy projects after I spent such a long time on that summer shawl. I didn't even use a pattern -- just seed stitch with some random drop stitches thrown in to make it a little interesting.
The blue and green one is Brooke's.
And the pink and orange one is Brenna's.
I bought this beautiful Noro yarn on our most recent trip to Louisville. When I go home I always try to visit our local yarn shop, Friends and Fiber in LaGrange, KY. The yarn is called Taiyo and is a soft and squishy combination of cotton, silk, wool and nylon. Just enough wool to make it warm, enough silk to make it special and enough cotton so it won't be scratchy. And of course Noro is famous for its explosion of vibrant cascading colors. Who wouldn't want to wear such a happy scarf to stay cozy on a blustery day?
Now I'm working on a cowl for myself. Hopefully, I will be sharing that soon. In the mean time the school year schedule is starting to pick up. The children start on Friday and we are already beginning the plate spinning orchestration of football and soccer practices and games. Praise God I have the comforting solace of knitting to keep me sane and my family warm and toasty.
blessings and happiness,
Athena
