Lailah completes final inspection of this garter stitch scarf that I knit for a local charity. A group has used a grant to open a second-hand shop called "Second Chance". They sell donated, used items to provide jobs and parenting classes for teen mothers.
The Lord put this on my heart: to knit/crochet items to donate to the shop. I'm plan to make "fun" items for young women and babies. I do wish I had made this scarf narrower. The base fiber is a ladder yarn from my stash. Of course, the label was MIA! The carry-along is a minty green ribbon fiber. When that was all knitted, I changed to "Light Pipe" that I've had for years. http://www.straw.com/cpy/yarns/lightpipe_card.html I used #3324-candy to carry along with the first fiber. I tied some "fringy" pieces here and there on the body of the scarf to add a bit of whimsy. Aren't I whimsical?!! ;)I want to make a pile of felted bags and skinny, funsy scarves to donate.
Take a peek at the beautiful crochet designs and colors at this site http://www.marisatricotecrochet.blogspot.com/. It is written in Portuguese with pix that speak to us in any language.
