Knit: "Purple Haze" Scarf - Mellow Shades of Relaxed Comfort

A lovely purple scarf done on my knitting board with two rows of crocheted stitches at each end for an added finish.

It's half the width of my usual scarves and much longer.  It looks bright and perfect for a rainy California day and wonderful for an added color boost. It feels long, luscious and fantastic on.

And the best part?  I created it without skipping even one looping stitch on my board! Something tells me that I'm getting better at this knitting board thing.

Knit: "Ventura Beach" - Crocheted Long Scarf

This was the spark of inspiration that started my knitting journey. The Sunday morning following my first Craft's Day with Sewing, Crafts, & Creative Projects @ Los Angeles, I woke up with very weird idea to knit a blanket. That blanket turned into this rather pretty long, undulating in color scarf.

Yarn used for this gorgeous work: Caron Jumbo Print Yarn (10-oz) - Country Basket Ombre, also available from your local JoAnn's.

Knit: "Shades of Red" - My Very First Knitting Board Project

Ahh, February. Seems so long ago that I purchased my knitting board. And this was my first knitting board project!

This was a simple project with thin yard: "Sensations -Rainbow Boucle, A soft and versatile, tonal boucle" from JoAnn's private label.   It's a big pounder from Joann's in a beautiful light to burgundy gradient. A great color booster for an outfit.

Knit: "Peacock" is Finally Finished & Off The Knitting Board! Plus, My Short Knitting Board History

The knitting board: a knitter's final frontier.

Weaving yarn dutifully back and forth along your board; hook and weaving bottom threads above tops; pulling the work down and starting again, some people might call it tedious and boring. But, once completed, a warm, double knit piece of woven delight awaits the wearer.

Behold! "Peacock" is complete!
