What's been on the needles... and why!

Well, the projects I'm working on may not be massively challenging, but they are for a good cause. The local Child Advocacy Center holds a blue scarf drive each year, and the scarves are given to children who have been abused. Actually, if there is just one child in a school classroom, who has suffered in that way, all of the kids in that class will receive a scarf, so that no one is singled out, you know?
So... I already had this one finished... it was made using Lion Brand's Fun Fur.. just basic garter stitch, but the furry texture makes it look a lot more luxurious!


This is another Lion Brand yarn.. called Incredible. It's making an interesting scarf.. sorta stretchy... But I don't think I shall knit with ribbon again..it twists and tangles a little too easily for my liking. My LYS is taking part in the Olympic Knitting Competition! And so this one was cast on during the Opening Ceremonies last Friday night.. half way through it now...it'll be quite long, and there will be tassles.. and I have enough actually to make two of them.
And this one began life yesterday.. it's Bernat Soft and Chunky, and I'm just following the pattern on the ball label, for the diagonal scarf.

I do love my knitting... there's so much going on in life which is unpleasant and somewhat stressfull.. stuff which I may write about at a later point.. but the shakiness I find my hands suffering from at times eases so much when I have needles in my hand.....
