I picked out this yarn combination for a scarf and then Mom decided she wanted one just like it. So here we are, in our matching scarves. I started the first one Nov. 21 and finished it that night. So I started a second one, and would have finished it, but the DH made me go to bed. NO!! ---- JUST ONE MORE ROW!!!!!! (LOL)
Actually, DH asked me to make one for him, but twice as long and in earthtone colors. I'm going to try mixing LionBrand Homespun with a Fun Fur -- the Homespun looks just as bulky and comes in some great earthy colors.
METHOD:
These scarves were made from a free pattern from LionBrand yarn, using one strand of Lion Boucle in Lime Blue + one strand of Fun Fur Citrus. Knitted on #19 fat needles, these scarves didn't take long at all to make.
AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
At first it was confusing trying to knit with two yarns, but after a few rows, the yarns seemed to attract each other and hung close. Using the big needle means quick progress. This combo is a little scratchy for my Princess & Pea delicate skin, but it's so pretty, I can't resist wearing it.
