Over the weekend, I caught-up on a few TV shows including one my favorites, Fringe (FOX). The current episode included a guest star who was wearing a great, crocheted scarf (see screen shots below)–one that inspired me to veer away from the usual Movie Monday format, to do a scarf round-up from NaturallyCaron.com. Check it, then hook it!

One of my favorite shapes is the swing jacket – and Melissa made it so simple to knit the few short rows to create that flair – AND with vertical ribs! Knitted in Chocolate Simply Soft.

I did another scarf with the pocket knitter. This time I crocheted around the outside to eliminate the curling edges. I used a double strand of Dazzleaire in Tidal Pool and Simply Soft Paints in Driftwood. I am pleased with how it looks. For my next project I am going to do the pearl stitch so that there is no curling edges.
My 10-year old daughter has also expressed an interest in using the pocket knitter, so I may spend some time teaching her this weekend. I am just going to start her off on the regular stitch. It should be no problem. She wants to make a hat for her American Girl doll.
