Been a while but heres a scarf update

I haven't had an update for a while because i was pretty sick for a week, so sick that just eating tired me out. First my boyfriend was sick and i was taking care of him, then i got sick so that left me no time for knitting. So anyway, heres an update, right now im kinda working on one for a bit so the update is for the green scarf.

Right now I'm on repeat 5 row 7 of the 16 + 1 repeat. The thicker yarn seems to be creating less curl, but there is a bit of curl, not as much curl as when I first did the pattern so its looking pretty good in my opinion. The pattern is looking quite good in the thicker yarn, I was slightly afraid the detail would be lost but it has not so I'm quite happy about that.

I'm going to try to get the pattern repeat up to repeat 10 then I'm going to work on the pink scarf which is the thinner yarn. I have 2 pictures of my progress so far. Until next time.

Flamingo dishcloth.....changed to a scarf

Hey all, so i decided i did not like the flamingo dishcloth in that type of material, so i scrapped it until i can get some nice sugar and cream yarn to knit it in. I decided to use that pink for a nice fall scarf, its a nice leaf lace scarf called the easy leaves scarf. Its actually a really easy pattern like it suggests, when i first tried it i was still kind of new to knitting and I was like omg how the heck do I do a double decrease! But the pattern maker explained it well and I was able to make a beautiful leaf scarf in a beautiful white yarn with silver strands in it. I gave it as a Christmas gift and the receiver loved it, so I decided to try it again now that I'm more practiced at knitting. U can get the pattern here.

On this pattern you repeat 12 rows to create the lovely leaf pattern. What I have done was knit it in 2 separate type of yarns with an US size 8 needle, I'm knitting it in a nice green the color is called lemongrass, its part of the wool ease collection by lion brand yarn. The pink is the same pink I was using to knit the flamingo dishcloth again I don't remember brand or color name but I am knitting it on a US size 8 needle.

On the green scarf I'm on pattern repeat 2 row 3 of a 16 repeat pattern, u then repeat the pattern one more time to row 11 then u knit 2 rows and bind off. Then it calls for your to wash and block and pin into place till completely dry because the pattern tends to curl because of it being a lacy pattern and it was knitted in a light yarn for a more of a late spring/fall scarf, that's why I knitted it in the lemongrass wool ease lion brand yarn to try a bit of a heavier/thicker yarn to see if less curl would happen and for more of a warmer scarf for late fall/winter.

I knitted it in the pink as well because it was a lighter yarn that the pattern called for and then u could see how it comes out for me on the pink scarf I'm on repeat 2 row 3. I'm trying to keep both of the scarves in the same stage of knitting so u can see them come together at the end. You can of course make the pattern wider and longer if you prefer by adding another pattern repeat or 2 and casting on 8 more stitches for each extra pattern repeat you would like to do.  I've included 2 pictures the brighter one is to show the true colors of the yarn and the darker one is to show the leaf pattern more clearly.

Until next post!
