Introduction & Parallelograms

Good afternoon to everyone. My name is Ana Maria. I joined the KAL about a month ago but had a hard time finding the book at any of our LYS. I finally ordered it on the web.

I started the parallelograms scarf but instead of using the yarn it called for I am using The Wool Boutique's Elle Merino Brights which I had in my stash. I really like the gradation of colors. It is fun and is knitting up fast.

Of course since I made the fibers change it has a different look to it. But I love it.

Finished Parallelograms

The Parallelograms scarf is done. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I only used one skein of each color. I wish Tahki's Chelsea Silk was still available.

I have another skein of each of the colors and a friend of mine who loves the Parallelograms is getting those for Christmas. She has the book on order. We're planning a mini-knit-a-long for after the first of the year. Just the two of us making some of the more challenging patterns.

I also knit another Tilted Squares scarf yesterday. Haven't taken the time to photo it yet. Maybe tonight at our knitting group holiday party. It would be nice to see it on an actual person.

Finished Stacked Wedges

I finished the Stacked Wedges scarf a couple of days ago. I'm pleased with it and plan on using it as one of my holiday gifts.



And I've started the Parallelograms scarf. I love the yarn I'm using, Tahki's Chelsea Silk. I think the tweedy look works really well with the two color pattern. I'd like to get this one done this week so I can move on to Aria or maybe Striped Wedges. I did start Striped Wedges but my gauge was way off so I'm looking through stash to find a more appropriate yarn.
