Knit ruffled scarves

[LeapFrog Libby]

I am in the process of knitting more of the ruffled scarves. I have finished 4 already that will be Christmas Gifts. Since I got the hang of it, I can move right along with them. Oh, yes, and as long as I stay away from the red heart yarn "Sashay". I just cannot like that one. All the rest that I have tried are great.. Chrysalis, Starbella, Winter Wonderland, and Sundance are the brands that I have used and that I like.The Sashay loops are smaller and you have to use every other one instead of every one in all the other brands to make the stitches. I have 3 or 4 more in the planning stages with the yarn ready to go. When I finish each one I put it in a ziplock bag with a name attached, so I don't lose track and get another gift for same person. LOL.. Been there, done that ! !

Those were the new item at most of the craft booths this year. They were selling them for anywhere from $10-$20. or at least that is what people were asking for them

You could probably make one in a couple of hours. I am slow so it takes me 2 evenings of TV watching to make one.Shorter version, ..

They sure are popular this year! A number of women at work are knitting them now.

I found a new variation of colors in the Starbella line. Called Wild Hydrangeas and it is a combination of purple, aqua, and white and a hint of green. I made myself one from that and wore it yesterday with a jacket with the same coloring and I cannot tell you how many comments I got on that.. Even from a lot of men who almost never comment on clothing items.. Had to go get a gallon of milk after church and the checker in the HT store raved over my beautiful scarf...Everybody loves that scarf. I am glad I bought 2 skeins of that color combination. Something tells me its gonna be very popular..
