FRILL, FRILLS, FRILLY... it's all in the yarn

Today saw another finish. Yippee Skippee, love that! I had some Sashay yarn by Red Heart that was calling my name.  I had already made one frill scarf by crocheting it [sorry no pic], but I wanted to try a knitted version.


So fun to throw around the neck and over the shoulder


Lay across neck front [ends will be in back]; bring ends to front... see pic below for the final twist


... now just flip the ends together and voila! a nice jabow [probably didn't spell that right]


The frills on this scarf are more plentiful and pleasing to me than the crocheted version I made previously
I used my metal, size 9, 'square-shaft' straight needles. These needles are fun and so easy to hold!  So, I knitted and knitted and... well, I worked on it off.n.on for just over a week. Whew. Finished today. Result? I prefer the knitted version b/c it is so soft and the frills are really frilly! But if I needed one fast, I would crochet it!

Oh, please do not mind the old, droopy and wrinkly neck in these photos. I had to use myself b/c my gorgeous DD wasn't available. And, btw, that's what happened to the other scarf... she modeled it for me and then it went to live with her! lol. I never even got a picture of it. The pic is in her phone! *big sigh*

Until next time. . . what are YOU working on?

Quilty Hugs,

Very pretty scarf. I just bought a skein of Sashay and intend to crochet it for Vicki's Pink Scarf for Cancer donation. I better get busy. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...
