We knit one up in our Crazyfoot yarn (colorway Harmony Mallard) and everyone who sees it thinks it is great. This scarf uses a single skein of fingering weight yarn. One of the many designs she shared with all of us was her new Lace-Meets-Leaf scarf. And the clever little place to tuck the tail is perfect!Įarly in the Fall Diana and I took a workshop from Sally Melville. And they are a really fun way to try out a new-to-you yarn!Īt String Theory Yarn Company in Illinois they designed Life is Good, a super-easy scarf that knits up with one skein of our Mountain Colors Jeannette yarn (65% Cashmere, 35% Silk).

They make great gifts and are such portable projects for folks on the go. I am still looking for the perfect way to organize them and I would welcome suggestions!! But I still want to knit more. I personally LOVE to knit scarves and I have a very large bag of them. Here in Western Montana scarves get a lot of use during the cold winter months. So grab your needles and a skein or two of yarn and cast on! One of our dyers is making a pair of Selbuvotter mittens with this yarn. A fun wool yarn plied with a strand of silk that creates a heathered effect. This 100% Wool yarn is perfect for many projects. Available in 10 colorways: Bridger Teal, Burgundy, Caramel, Harmony Rose, Lookout Peak, Periwinkle, Rodeo, Ruby River, Silverbow, and White Pine.
It calls for a Dk weight yarn so I will use our Weavers Wool Quarters. 85 Merino superwash 15 Donegal neps 231 yds/skein Approx 100 gm Suggested gauge: 5-6 Needles: 4-6. I think I will use Crazyfoot for the Metamorph and 4/8's Wool for the City Creek Cowl. On my knit-for-me-soon list there is the Metamorphcowl and the City Creek Cowl . I have also made the Crofter's Cowlin Mountain Colors River Twist yarn. It is really soft and nice. I made the Super Easy Cowlfor a gift this year.

If you search on Ravelry you will find MANY free cowl patterns. These make fast-to-knit gifts!!! I have 2 skeins on my table waiting for me to knit one of these scarves. Then wear flat or make into a loop that you let hang straight or twist around your neck for a snuggly warm accent. Knit with 2 skeins of the same colorway or alternate two complimentary colors in an easy stripe sequence. Our Easy Moguls Scarf has a similar construction but it is designed for 2 skeins of Moguls. If you prefer a straight loop then just don't put in the twist!! This project is knit flat then joined with a twist when sewn together. Our Missoula Mobius is knit with 1 skein of Monarch, a soft-spun, slightly thick and thin, SUPER soft wool yarn. Mountain Colors has several free patterns in this category.
These make perfect gifts and there is still plenty of time to make a few. Most folks have made MANY scarves and cowls but I thought I would share a few of my favorites. This week our Holiday knitting inspiration is all about cowls and loops.
