Soft Colors Scarf

This is the second of the two gift projects I made.  This one was for Toadles' wife.

Her favorite color is purple, but I made a couple of solid purple things for her previously.  I wanted something that included purple but had other colors as well and I wanted soft, feminine colors for her.  This is actually yarn sold for baby projects, but it worked wonderfully for this.  It is a very soft yarn.  Lavender, yellow, blue, pink and white are the colors in this.

It's triple stitch on a foundation chain.  This is my "standard" scarf pattern, but it's one of my favorite patterns to make.  It's very quick and easy, as well as a whole lot of fun.  5 rows of triple stitch, it was a fast scarf to make.  I made it in a couple of hours.

Fall Colors Scarf

This is one of the two projects that I've recently done but not posted, although I have mentioned that I made a couple of items for gifts.  Here's the first one:

This was a gift for Bill's mom.  It is all horizontal single stitch.  It's some of the yarn I bought on clearance after lusting after it for months.  This took about 1 1/2 skeins, single stitch looks wonderful and is very dense but it uses more yarn for larger projects.

I really love these colors.  They remind me of Fall leaves.

Here's a closer shot of the stitches.  I don't remember how many rows, but there were a lot.  Probably around 20.  It took me most of one day to make this.

More Crochet Throw Pillows

These are the latest pillows.  These are all for the living room, the couch and loveseat are brown leather so I went with brown shades.  They are all granny squares, triple stitch and are the same on both sides.  They were fun and used some of the stash.  But I still have plenty of yarn!

They are white pillow forms that have a fabric cover sewn on.  The two lighter ones have a tan color, the other two have a darker brown fabric.

I have another throw pillow planned, it's going to be in camo yarn and will be for the bed.  It will be the same shade as the previous camo pillow but a different stitch entirely.  Soon, but not yet.  It's one of my projects for when I get frustrated at the length of time the afghan is taking and need a quicker project.  I have started the afghan but won't post pictures yet.  I will have a series of pictures for it, in various stages of construction.
