more knitting and crocheting

I ordered the yarn for Meredith’s curly-twirly scarf and the hat I’m going to make for one of Holly’s daughters who’s too young for a scarf. For the hat I’m going to use the “stars” pattern from Susan B. Anderson’s Itty-Bitty Hats, with a few modifications of my own.

I ordered GGH Samoa for Mer’s scarf and Sydney’s hat. Mer’s scarf will be apple green/lime green:

Sydney’s hat will be lavender: I’m hoping the yarn will arrive this week, even with the New Year’s holiday. I would like to get Sydney’s hat done before we leave for Colorado since I have to follow a pattern. I can do the twirly-curly scarves from memory, so they’ll be easy to do in the car on the drive to Colorado. Although, at the rate I’m going right now, there won’t be any curly-twirly scarves left to make on the drive to Colorado. What I really need to be working on is Angie’s wedding afghan ~ I’m enjoying making the scarves so much though because they’re so easy and so fast. It’s all about instant gratification, don’tcha know!

   Trish, Meredith told me about your blog. So I found you through her. I to am a home school mom. I am in my 16th year. I have 5 kids, 4 currently home schooled. The oldest one still home schooled is almost done. I live in Georgia. And I would LOVE if you would share your scarf pattern with me. I am currently crocheting an afghan.

   Thanks,

   Hi Julie! Thanks for dropping by! You can find the crochet pattern for my curly-twirly scarf here: http://joyfulheartblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/curly-twirly-scarf-crochet-version.html I haven’t put together a knitting pattern for it yet, but I will. I have Angie’s wedding afghan about 1/3 done ~ once that’s finished I’ll have some time to figure out the knitting pattern.
