The last of the 2008 Christmas scarves

I'm a little late posting these. I mean, it is already 2009, but here's the rest of the scarves I made for Christmas presents.

Becky (Pastor's wife) likes blue, so I chose Caron's Simply Soft Country Blue and did a seed stitch back and forth. Here's a close up of her scarf:



You can see how to do a seed stitch here

Here's my pastor's scarf (made with Lion's Homespun Edwardian color yarn):

It's a terrible picture and you can't see upclose, but I did a basic V-stitch for the pastor. What else can you do for a guy, 'ya know?

My favorite scarf I crocheted is coming up. I can't believe I gave this one away! Well, maybe I'll have to make one for myself. I love, love, love this yarn. It's a brushed worsted weight variegated yarn and ohhhhh, it's so soft! I got it at JoAnne's, but I can't remember the name of it. I made a hat and scarf for my husband's daughter, Kim. You can see the scarf below in a seed stitch like Becky's above:

I started running out of yarn and so I sent hubby out on a yarn trip. Those are ALWAYS fun for husbands. You can ask mine. I'm sure he will tell you he has a blast doing it! Hehe! Well, he picked up a Lion's brand Homespun yarn that had a little pink in it and it was for his son, Jason. Jason said he liked it. We'll see if he wears it next year if we see him! I did a V-stitch (the basic man stitch):

One day, I'm telling you, I'm going to make a scarf for myself!

Christmas Scarves 2008

I decided to go a little overboard on making scarves for Christmas this year. I gave myself three weeks to complete NINE scarves (and a few hats). Never, never, never do this. It's insane! Here's the pictures of the scarves for Christmas 2008:

For Chris (step-daughter)
Used Cello Eyelash Yarn (Green/Brown Multi) with a Rainbow Boucle (Green):

For Sarah
Used Sensations Angel Hair with Rainbow Boucle (Red):

For Mindy
Used Cello Eyelash Yarn (Green/Brown Multi) with a Lion Homespun Boucle (Dark Green):

For Dana (who is learning to loom - check out the link on the side for looming) and Carol next door
Used Caron Simply Soft (Plum Wine). This was originally an afghan pattern, but I cut it short to make scarves for them:

For Tom (step-dad), Mom, Mindy, and Chris
The one in the middle was for my mom. The one for my step-dad is at the top of the picture. It's made from Lion's Homespun yarn. I did a simple V-Stitch back and forth. It makes a nice man's scarf:

For Mom
I used Caron Simply Soft Country Blue yarn with an edging of Caron Simply Soft Moss Green:

These aren't all the scarf pictures. I still have to enter Becky's, Pastor Tim's, Jason, and Kim's scarves.
