new scarf...

Here it is. It's warm and it's very finished looking. I'm even going to post the pattern I do believe!(I feel a little goofy... all the pictures I smiled in looked really dorky... Not sure if this is any better though... it's hard to be the solo photographer)

So, here's the pattern...

I used Softee Chunky by Bernat (It was less than 2.50 at walmart!) and an L hook

Chain 13, turn
ROW 1: Count first two ch as 1st DC. *Skip 1 ch, DC in next ch, DC in skipped ch* rep to last dc (the ch 2) finish row with DC in last ch, ch 2, turn.
ROW 2: *FDP st, BDP st* (corresponding front and back to the side the stitches are already at), DC in top ch at the end of the row, ch 2, turn.
ROW 3: *skip 1 DC, FDP in next DC, BDP in skipped DC* DC in last stitch as in ROW 2, ch 2, turn.

Rows 2 and 3 make the pattern. Repeat to desired length. I used just over 1 skein of the chunky yarn.

It crochets quickly and the pattern is easy. The finished product is excellent. One of my best patterns yet!

This is my first time writing out a pattern, so if anyone has suggestions, lemme know!

**Updated notes on my FDP and BDP... apparently this is more commonly known as simply FP and BP (Front Post and Back Post), but I differentiated Double because in my experimental crocheting, I also do single, half double and even triple post stitches.

Here's a link my mom found that explains exactly what a Post stitch is. It's easier to see it than try to weed through one of my explanations... POST STITCH EXPLAINED

Three Snow Days in a Row....

And this is the best I have to show for it:


I'm a little disappointed by how little detail you can see, but that's kind of just the kind of yarn it is. The heel to mid foot is done with plain old knitting. The toe is done in seed stitch (this and the fact that it's not double strand worsted weight) is my variation from the regular granny pattern. I think they should be called submarine slippers cuz that's what I think every time I look at them.

I'm still working on some other projects, but am more excited about getting my second slipper done with...

Oh, but another cool thing.... I got the birdies a little something something...
