Hers & His Scarf Set

I was recently asked to donate something handmade for my favorite 2 1/2 year old Owen's school auction. After much debate, I decided on a His & Hers Scarf Set in my favorite chunky alpaca yarn. I completed the packaging with some new tags that will be tucked into the ends of the scarves for some shameless advertising.

Here is how to make my favorite scarf:

This scarf is made in a seed stitch.

Gauge: On size 15 needles 2 stitches = 1 inch

Cast on 13 stitches (or any odd # of stitches)

Row 1: Knit 1, Purl 1, Repeat to end of row

Row 2: Repeat Row 1

happy knitting and happy new year!

Lavender Filled Sachet

Today I made a prototype for my organic lavender filled felt sachets. Currently, I'm rethinking shapes and sizes. This one is about 2.5"x4". Ideally, the edges will be pinked into a zig-zag... or if i leave the edges straight a border of bright ric-rac will be sewn around the pouch.

A Trip Down Memory Lane via Old Sketches...

june 2001, charline packs up a suitcase and moves to nyc.

she misses her friends and spends a lot of time thinking about them.

she makes some new ones that she adores;

but she never forgets about all the fun times she had with her old friends

from snowboarding trips to masquerade balls.

I spent some time this afternoon looking through old sketchbooks and journals. There were a lot of illustrations that shocked me, made me laugh, and even made me tear up a little.

Above are some of the sketches from over the years and miles.
