Sweet Saturday Sweet Lady

I going to tell you today about a friend I met here on the internet, blogging. She's a crocheter...not surprising I would connect with a fellow crocheter in the blog land for sure. She's also a published author.

I don't want to give away too much information about her book; but I do want to tell you to visit her on her blog, follow her on Facebook and or Twitter. Subscribe to her newsletter for a discount on her latest book, "Crochet Saved My Life".

Her name? Kathryn Vercillo
Her Blog? Crochet Concupiscence (be sure and add her to your blog log)

I was surprised, and thrilled when she informed me she listed my charity Bridge and Beyond
in the resource section of her book. What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. And so, I give you a sweet act, by a sweet lady on Sweet Saturday.

Cable Scarf Completed

This is my first knit cable scarf. I love the yarn, the colors and the look of the cables. Prior to this the only time I had tried my hand with cables was with a wash cloth....Big mistake, cotton is so much harder to work with, no give to pull the stitches to make the cables. I have a cable knit skirt, I'd really like to make myself, but felt I needed a bit more practice with cables. Thus the scarf.

I used 3 different cable hooks/needles to see which I liked best; also good practice.

However...the scarf is much smaller then I had hoped. It's about 4 inches wide which is more narrow then I like them. And, it's shorter then I like; but ran out of yarn. In fact, only one edge is trimmed. I tried my hand with a knitted edge vs a crocheted edge. Normally I don't edge my scarves, but thought it might make it a bit widder....silly move, as I didn't have nearly as much yarn as I needed. And it's a wee bit tight in one area. Hopefully that will give a bit after blocked?

I decided I'd frog the edge so the scarf would be the same..........but, couldn't. Somehow, there was a bit of a snag and it wasn't coming out nicely; so then I grabbed my crocheted hook to get from causing further damage and........so, the scarf is edged on one side. Argh

So, when it's blocked I'll see the finished size and determine from there to whom it should be gifted/donated. I had hoped it might work for a student program my Daughters involved in, but am afraid it's too small. I'm also hopeful, the edge no edge isn't a huge deal.

It's Friday folks, make your way around to see all the finished objects on Friday. See badges and links in sidebar.

**must remember to grab darning needle and work in my tail**
