Twisted Sister Scarf

OK everyone here is the pattern that I picked up at Eileen's Treasures over the weekend.

Needles: Size 8s or 9s
Yarn: Best if you use worsted or Bulky
Yardage: 200 or more depends on how long you want it.
Cast on: 20 stitches

After you have cast on 20 (twenty stitches)
Knit 8 turn
Knit 8 again

Knit 6 turn
Knit 6 again

Knit 4 turn
Knit 4 again

After the second 4 knit 20 (twenty) and now you are on the second half

Repeat
(Knit 8 turn Knit 8 again Knit 6 turn Knit 6 again Knit 4 turn Knit 4 again Knit 20)

Keep going on this pattern until you have your desired length.

To bind off I will post those directions when I get home from work LOL

I am doing better I am including a scanned picture of the directions on here since I don't know how to explain the bind off since I don't get it.




Hope you guys can read it. If not let me know and I will email you a copy once you give me your email addy.

OK guys it is done so here is the photo of the completed scarf. Its the perfect length it wraps around twice. Once we hit the Armada game on Friday I will have a pic of me wearing it so you all can see how long it truly it is.

Joe's Second and Third project

OK recently Joe started on his second and his third projects at the same time. And until recently (right now) I was blogging about it and honestly didn't realize until he pointed it out to me. So here it is.
Here is the first of the two projects:
Steering wheel cover.
To cover his BMW 318i.
As soon as we can we will post photos of it. It looks really nice so far and its done minus the fact that he has not sewed it to the steering wheel.

The second project that he is working on is actually two scarfs as well a customized dash board cover. As soon as we can we will send pictures. Hope all of you understand that I am going to be posting photos and if it comes out alright we can even sell the pattern cheaply but all of you can decide.

:D

Felted fair purse.

OK I am currently on working a felted purse that is in brown and white strips. It is going to be a really big purse size before it becomes felted. Right now I am on about row 15th row. Each stripe has 5 rows which makes it hard for me since I am still so new so I am not sure how to keep the different colors from falling off the edges so I knot the ends which I honestly do not think I am supposed to do that. Oh well its a learning process pics will be added soon

Joe's first knit project

OK here is a few pictures of Joe's first project a scarf that is a simple full knit with 16 stitches...






I am so proud of him. He is doing so well...Especially since lately he has been at drill he is sitting in his vehicle knitting in between things they are doing and having meals. He is doing so well.... In only about a week it has grown so long. So long that it is able to practically wrap around his neck and on both sides there are some that hangs past. It is awesome and fits so well with his uniform. Hoorah!!! Go ARMY!!


OK he has completed the project of his first scarf and he was able to be shown by his mom how to bind off it was a great site to see. I mean he was so determined last night to get the scarf done before she came down that he actually dozed off in the middle of a section trying to get it done. But here are pic of the completed scarf...
