Diversion Scarf

 

Earlier last week, I finished this Diversion scarf and it took a while to dry since it's winter. I was finally able to take some photos and share them with you today. Remember when I said I would NOT buy any more yarn to finish the scarf? Well, I bought more gray yarn. A whole skein of sock yarn for 81 yards. I tried to make do with another color and I didn't like the way it looked at all. 

I can easily use the rest of the gray yarn for other projects.

Overall I'm pleased with the way this scarf turned out!

What are you working on this week?

    Oh, Karen! It is gorgeous! Wow! (and I think those 81 yards were a good choice to add in!)

    This scarf is really lovely and I love the colors you used. Good call on the extra 81 yards!

    It really blossomed after blocking. So very pretty. I like the size of it too. Gray is a great color to have on hand in stash. Can be used lots of ways.

    Beautiful finish Karen! And, the extra grey will come in handy for any number of projects.

    That scarf is really pretty and worth the extra yarn! Nice work. I am working on a pair of long ago started mitts and had to relearn how to vikkel! Sigh.

    What a beautiful finish. Buying yarn to finish such a beautiful project was a great choice. Gray goes with everything and it would knit up nicely as heels and toes for man socks. I'm chugging along on the infamous gray sweater and weaving in ends on a scarf made from handspun.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
