Here is Poncho Pig making his modeling debut. Just imagine if I made a scarf that actually fit him.
As I mentioned
earlier I left my knitting bag with most of my current knitting projects at my parent's house last week. So I had no choice to cast on something new. Fortunately, I had something on my list of Christmas gifts to make.

I bought some
Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande Paint at
Hill Country Weavers last fall. I probably could have made this scarf a little wider, but I wanted length over width. It only took me a little more than one and a half skeins in colorway 8817. I also used the wooden US size 8 knitting needles I got in my
Knitters Scavenger Hunt package.

This is the same ribbing I used in
this scarf and
this scarf. I'm not sure if it's technically the Brioche Rib or the Eve's Rib. (Hence the name.) I used the stitch I found in
this pattern. It's a great stitch, and I love how it looks with the hand painted yarn. I also like the way it pooled diagonally.

I'm including a bonus WIP, a simple fun fur scarf out of Lion Brand
Fun Fur Stripes. The yarn was provided from a friend from church, who asked me to some scarves out of it.

Love the diagonal stripes on the ribbed scarf! Isn't it wonderful when you surrender to the variegation and get such a nice surprise?
