Beautiful Lacy Stash Busting Scarf

I am using size 11 knitting needles. Yarn - anything you have (I used Sublime Lustrous Extra Fine Merino DK) 2= skeins 208 yards. Row 1 - K3, *(k2tog, yo)* repeat till last 3 stitches, K3 Row 2 - K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3 Row 3 - K3, *(yo, k2tog)* repeat till last 3 stitches Row 4 - K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3 Row 5- Knit all Row 6 - Knit all Begin at Row 1 for 3 more repeats Row 8 - Knit Row 9 - Purl I was going to add some clear glass beads too! I bought a lovely "stick" pin and added beads to close the scarf, photo's when finished! Keep going until it is close to the length you want then begin at Row 1 all over again. Make sure to leave enough yarn to finish another border!! I knit 3 lace repeats Knit 6 rows garter stitch for top border.This pattern can be varied by size of yarn, size of needle and number of stitches. It is a multiple of 2 stitches so you can make it as wide as you want. Anything you want. Gets rid of those part balls of yarn in your stash.

Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today when I checked my Ravelry, I had a wonderful surprise!  I won a pattern by commenting in a blog.  It's an adorable little cherry pillow!  I live in Salem Oregon, which is called Cherry City.  I thought this would be a cute pattern to make something for my daughter who loves cherries.  I have not been having such a great week so it really was a nice thoughtful pick me up!  Here is a photo of the pillow
