2025 Scarf Creations

I donate my finished items to our local food pantry. They had the annual thank you picnic for volunteers this week. Spoke with the director and I can take over my finished items anytime! So I can set up a time with her and clean out my closet! Yay.  

Yarn for today's items was bought in the JoAnn's clearance, nice color mixes and I thought this would be good for hats. However as I tried to work with it, the yarn wasn't working up like my usual #4 weight yarn. In looking at this it was about the same diameter as #4 yarn, but it was actually an 8 ply yarn, not a 4 ply yarn. 

So instead I decided to knit scarves with this stuff. I had done a few scarves a couple of years ago, needed to remember needle size and number of stitches to cast on. I make these for kids rather than an adult. I can make more that way.  

 

I have a friend who does knit adult sizes, large enough to cover the head and wrap around the neck. I have passed on yarn to her and she has given me stuff she can't use. Stuff you think will be good and then not really. 

What was really cool about this yarn is the variability within the skein and even from skein to skein. Of the five scarves I made the two green, on the left, are the same color and lot. As are the blue / orange on the right hand size

 

Chatted with the food pantry director and she said I can drop off my already made blankets now. So I need to set up a time with her to drop them off. I can empty out my closet so I can start on next years stuff.
