I love hats, and have made many in the past few years.
Just saw this today, with a video from Knitting Daily.

Russ's Cabled Scarf
This deep purple scarf is terrific. Gorgeous cable design at each end. Here's the note the knitter attached to her photo:

I love this cable pattern from Encyclopedia of Knitting.
Cable-Knit Scarf
Here's another pretty scarf, again with cables and moss, seed, or double moss stitch inside the cable, and on the edges.

I am going to write up the pattern for this scarf soon for anyone that is interested. Favorite this photo and check back for a link to the free knitting pattern :)
I blogged about this scarf here: kateseyeview.com/?p=505

Here's another view, maybe with better detail~
Do you have a favorite cable knit scarf pattern? If you like to share, I'd love to see it, and feature it here.

It's Been a Long Long Time
Wow. I have been away from my little blogs for quite some time. It's been a busy time for me~ I've been taking lots of photos, and really enjoying my relatively new camera. Been glad to have a "real" camera in hand again since my old film SLRs are now outdated. Happily, I can still use my old lenses on the new one.
I'll ease back into the swing of things with a new project I completed. My daughter is in her second year at the University, and she wanted a white cable-knit scarf. Visiting a yarn shop I used to work in years ago, I happened upon a scarf that looked just right. It is cabled on both sides, and simple to do. I added a 3" fringe to finish it off, as per my daughter's request. It is now mailed off, and being used!
Here are some photos:
Just getting started. Worsted weight yarn, 6 stitch cables every 10 rows, 6 purl stitches in between.
Don't you just love to stop every few inches and admire your progress?

| This shows the cables on the other side. I staggered the cables on the other side, starting 5 rows after I cabled the first side. That way, every 5 rows I'm cabling. Make sense? |

| Finished! |
Without fringe, the scarf measures 74".
A fun and easy project!

I'm finally done with the body! The seed stitch bottom border felt like it took FOREVER! It looks cute so far, but I don't know if I could sit through that much seed stitch ever again.

Here's what I've mostly been working on lately-- a houndstooth pattern scarf made from organic cotton. I ordered the pakucho stuff from elann and it's awesome! Though it's not as soft as I expected, it has a nice feel and I really like all the history behind it. Plus you can get really nice colors but they're all undyed! Whee!
Natural
There is nothing like a natural yarn. The possibilities are endless. . . and any pattern knit in a natural yarn seems to pop.

natural knit
Today I'm looking for anything that qualifies as a "natural knit." Could be yarn, color, organic fibers. . .
