Yep, we're still around, just been busy with life. Just stopping in to post some pictures of a couple Sashay Scarves I've made lately. Ever since the first time I saw these beauties, I loved them. Then I found out that they were knitted and was not very excited. I don't knit, see, but that didn't stop me. I just had to figure how to make them. Our cousin, who is a pro at crocheting and doesn't knit either, made some and told me how easy they were. So that was that. I made up my mind to do it. Let me tell ya, the first few (more like hundred) rounds were not so easy. I did it completely wrong and kinda' just made it up as I went. (I tend to do that a lot, but this time it didn't work so well.) Finally, I found a how-to video that explained it well enough for me to understand it. I'll try to get you the link in another post. She explains it so well and goes through step-by-step! Perfect for me! The other videos I found already assumed I knew how to knit and that was frustrating me.
One skein makes a full scarf and they're pretty long! The cheapest place for me to buy the yarn is Wal Mart. Ben Franklin has more of a variety, but they're more expensive.
Anyways. I did it! I've already made three, but only have pictures of two. Sometime soon, I hope to make an orange and black one. You know, for the best baseball team in the world, the SF Giants! :)
If you don't knit but crochet, you can still make these, but I recommend the knitted scarves. They turn out fuller and sturdier. I tried the crochet pattern. It was easy, but not as pretty.
Hope y'all have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
