Yarn Along

For Yarn Along this week, I'm finally finishing the scarf that I've been working on for a few weeks.  I worked on it a bit while we traveled and a little since we've returned and now I'm about 90% finished.  I'll be ready to move on when this is finished too!  I have several new projects rolling around in my head, most of which I can't really work on over the summer when there are so many kids at home with me!


One of the projects I'm ruminating on is the 2-color zigzag baby blanket in A Knitter's Home Companion.  It's Finn's turn for a Christmas blanket, and I've never tried color work in a blanket (or much of anywhere).  It seems like a nice challenging Christmas project to work on through the autumn.  Maybe in a carnation red and chocolate brown?  What do you think?

  4. I think your red and brown idea would look very nice in that pattern. And the scarf - nice! That eco-duo is so soft.
