Here are some of my recent projects.  It seems I have been bitten by the knitting bug.  I first learned to knit right after I started crocheting about 8 years ago, but I totally hated it.  It's so much slower than crocheting, but I suppose I have come to appreciate what you can do with knitting that you can't crochet.  Also, I think I got too good at crocheting.  I like the sense of accomplishment after learning a new skill, and now I have lots to learn with knitting.  At my current rate I'll be knitting up a sweater in no time.

 First we have this knitted bow/ascot scarf.  I loved this one...it's soft and fluffy, and super quick to make.  It only took a few hours, and you can get 2 from one skein of yarn.  Obviously way cheaper than the Anthropologie version that inspired it.

Then we have this fun rainbow scarf.  I was so glad to get rid of this poor ribbon yarn that has been made into about a million different things that I was never totally happy with.

I love this fluffy purple scarf.  It is super long (folded in half in photo), and has a great squishy texture to it.

 

 I kinda love this knitted beanie...self-striping yarn is kinda the greatest thing ever.

 

 

This scarf was crocheted.  It looks really cool, and it will be a great pop of color dearing the dreary winter.

Finally, there is this crochet lace scarf.  This is my favorite quick pattern.  It's nice and girly and ruffly.
