This is my first completed project - the fake tweed yarn was a good choice for my first scarf. It's also the yarn that my very experienced grandmother used to make herself a scarf with matching hat. It is 19 stitches across and took me about a week to complete.
I am making this scarf for Rick to wear with his peacoat (which he hardly ever wears). I learned how to purl for this scarf which definitely took me awhile to get used to. I can't get the knit-purl-knit montra out of my head when I am working on this one, but it is turning out very well. Rick picked out this yarn for himself and even though it looks pretty narrow (26 stitches) it is very stretchy as seen above.
Since one project isn't enough, I recently bought another set of needles (I love the bamboo ones!) and started a very thick, very chunky, very warm scarf with this gray yarn. I am using a seed stitch pattern and this one is only 18 stitches across. I started out with 22 but the needle was just too short for all that yarn, which is aptly named Thick and Quick.
