Moss on the trail scarf pattern

I have not gotten much knitting done lately. Just busy with other things. I always have my knitting at work, but have been teaching others lately, and find I can't knit and teach, I feel like a prairie dog, popping up and down.


But my co- workers made me promise to finish the Puce scarf, they claim since I started it we have had record amount of snow and ice.


So it is done, now no longer name Puce, but a more springy name of: Moss on the trail scarf. Now that it is done may spring begin!!


Moss on the Trail Scarf pattern


I used 5 balls of Ara From Dale of Norway, it is a thick/thin spun colorway of green It is called Herb Garden.

Crocheted scarf pattern
Yarn amt. approx 250 yd's
Yarn type bulky
Hook see yarn label for recommendation
Chain for about 55 inches for myself, shorter or longer, to your liking
Row 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook, *chain 1, skip 1 chain, sc in next chain* continue until at end, end with a sc in last stitch and then chain 3 and turn
Row 2 sc in first stitch, *chain one, skip one stitch, sc in next stitch*, continue until at end of row, end with a sc in last stitch and then chain 3 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 until you A) run out of yarn or B) the scarf is wide enough.


I used all 5 skeins and my scarf turned out to be 10 inches wide and approx 48 inches long. It is lightweight.

And I like how textural it turned out.





I also finished my little Crappy bag for Dog walking.

I used one ball of GGH sportlife 50g 85 m

in a dark green.

I sc using a I hook around and around until I thought I was done.

Used a twisted handle, due to the fact that I had no more yarn for a crochet strap.
So now I can stylishly carry my poo home, well not my poo, my puppy poo.

Thanks to YarnPath for the idea. Her pattern is so pretty I am going to use it to store my jewelry in. More on that later.

Let spring begin...soon

  1. So that's why spring hasn't come?!

    I walk out everyday and hover over my garden. Only my crocuses have popped out and even they are refusing to open. Hopefully soon! I can't wait to start planting and pruning.

    Your doggy bag is great and the texture really looks good on the scarf.

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. Iā€™ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci...

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8. ...

Hills and Valleys Cowl/Hood (free pattern)

I was searching for the perfect cowl that I had in my mind to knit. Trawling on Ravelry, I wanted one, just the right size around, only once around my neck and not too tight, loose enough to pull up around my face and tall enough to get it around my ears during a windy dog walk, but able to squish it down into my collar of my coat and not be too thick and bulky. About a third of the way into the pattern I decided to make it long enough to pull up as a hood also.  I finally just un-vented this one, as Elizabeth Zimmerman would say. Add caption This is a simple stitch textured cowl/hood (you decide the length). Suitable for beginning knitters. Purl ridges make the cowl easy to scrunchy down or pull up. You can wear the ribbed end on top if you are wearing it as a cowl to make it snuggie around your neck or, wear the purl ridges on top if you are pulling it up as a hood. If you have any questions or find an error please let me know so I can correct it!  Iā€™ve added some tuto...
