Finishing this scarf makes me want to make a bunch of these in lots of colors. Love the simplicity of the pattern and the finished scarf.
This is not a flattering picture but I was trying to get the full length in the picture. I think I stopped knitting at just over 6 feet in length. I did not use the full skein of the second skein that I started, so I have leftover yarn, but I still love the scarf. This scarf fits doubled around the neck perfectly.
And this is close up of the stitches and how pretty they are.
I started another knitting project with a yarn I have had for at least two years when I bought six skeins of it because I loved it so much. I made a couple of items with it in 2016. I made a knitted neck warmer and a crocheted scarf with it and now I need a hat to complete the set. This is Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in the Cappuccino colorway. It's so soft and pretty. To use up this yarn I decided to make my go to hat pattern "The Boyfriend Hat" by Stephanie Nicole. The pattern link is here. I'm going to use up the last four skeins of this yarn on this hat so I'm knitting this with double strands and I will knit this hat until it's gone so this will be a stocking cap style hat.
I like to sew, quilt, crochet and knit in my free time and this blog is all about my projects, past and present.

Incoming Fabric
As usual, while I'm working on quilt tops I get the itch to plan for future quilt tops. Today I went shopping and I couldn't resist buying some pre-cuts. I bought a layer cake of assorted floral shabby chic fabrics from an ebay seller and a jelly roll of Lizzie's Legacy fabrics from Green Fairy Quilts.
This layer cake will have 48 - 10" floral squares in it and I will add one more 10" square of one of my stash fabrics so I can make a 7 block x 7 row quilt top.
Here's a picture of the fabrics:
The jelly roll is a collection of 40 - 2.5" x 44" strips from the Lizzie's Legacy collection by Betsy Chutchian for Moda Fabrics. I love the soft colors and the old fashioned prints in this collection. I will be making a jelly roll race quilt with this. I plan on adding a solid square in between each strip to give the top some interest.

Time to get back to my scrappy string quilt blocks.
