WIP Wednesday

I have too many projects. I started a new project just for the road trip to Meskwaki Casino. It is the orange wingspan shawl. I found the pattern on Ravelry,  I made an alteration to the pattern because I did not think I had enough yarn. It might look a little off as I will have wings on only half of the shawl.

Inspired by the knitted shawl, I started a crocheted wing shawl. It actually looks more like a scarf.

I still have the shawl using my reversible cable pattern, another  rippled scarf, and finally the year long blanket project. Hard to believe we are half way through 2013 already.

Yoga Socks

Somewhere.....I have a leaflet on making a knitted pair of yoga socks.  Out if the blue, I decided to make an easy crocheted pair.

Though it looks looks, I wonder if socks without a toe and heel is useful.

Here are pictures of my latest projects. 

Ruffled Scarf

I started to make a knitted version of the scarf, then I thought about it for a minute and wondered if I could make a crocheted version of this scarf.

And so I created this scarf. I had 3 skeins of Jo-Anns Sensations Angel Hair I got from my daughter for Christmas and decided to use it for this project. I wish I had three more skeins. I ended up with a short scarf. I also found that is is a little heavy, even though it is soft.

So I am going to share with you with you my pattern.

Hook Size: I
Yarn: Worst-Weight
If you go with Jo-Ann's Angel Hair, you will need 6 skeins

Feel free to experiment with different yarns and hook sizes.

Chain 23
Sc in second chain from hook and in the remaining chains, ch1 turn

Note: I worked in the backed loops

Row 1: sc in the next 9, ch1 turn (leave remaining un-worked)
Row 2: sc across
Row 3: sc in the next 7, ch1 turn (leave remaining un-worked)
Row 4: repeat row 2
Row 5: sc in the next 5, ch1 turn (leave remaining un-worked)
Row 6: repeat row 2
Row 7: sc in the next 4 sc * insert hook in next sc and draw up a loop, insert hook in side of row and draw another loop, YO and draw though all three loops, sc in the next sc*  repeat 2 more times, sc until you reach the end. ch 1 turn

Repeat these 7 rows until you reach the desire length. Finish off.

Want to have have three colors like I did? Do row 7 like this:


Row 7: sc in the next 4 sc * insert hook in next sc and draw up a loop, insert hook in side of row and draw another loop, YO and draw though all three loops, sc in the next sc*  repeat 2 more times, sc, changing to you next color here, sc until you reach the end. ch 1 turn

Then when you get to row 7 again, change to you third color the same place you you changed to the second color.

One of my may projects I have going is a baby ripple jacket. 

Stash Buster Scarf

I used left over yarn to make up this quick circular scarf. The only this is that I ended up getting twisted. Instead of fixing it, I decided to just go with it.

Finished Ruffled Scarf

I just finished a ruffled scarf. It incorporates novelty ruffled yarn and sport weight yarn. I made DC's with the sport weight using the open end of the ruffled yarn in place of the first YO of the dc.
